Legal grounds for processing
Depending on which of the above Permitted Purposes we use your personal data for, we may process your personal data on one or more of the following legal grounds provided for under applicable data protection legislation:

How will we share your personal data?
We may share your personal data in the following circumstances:
- We may instruct service providers within or outside MUSKITA, domestically or abroad, e.g. IT services or server providers, to process personal data for the Permitted Purposes on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions only. In certain case, this may also mean that your personal data may be transferred to locations outside the EU or European Economic Area (“EEA”). MUSKITA will retain control over and will remain fully responsible for your personal data and will use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law to ensure the integrity and security of your personal data when engaging such service providers;
- We may also use aggregated personal data and statistics for the purpose of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop our website and our services.

Personal data we receive from you about other people

Transfers of personal data
In certain cases, we may transfer the data we collect from you to any of our suppliers or service providers (see above section on ‘How will we share your personal data?’), and your data may therefore in certain cases be processed at a destination outside the EEA by our suppliers or providers.
