International Transfers

Hungama is a global business headquartered in India. Hungama processes, transfers and stores information about its users on servers located in India. As a result, Hungama may transfer your information with third parties located in a country other than your home country. Your personal information may therefore be subject to privacy laws that are different from those in your country of residence.

If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), Canada, the United States or elsewhere outside of India, please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to and processed by third parties in a country outside of your country of residence.

Where your information is transferred outside the EEA, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as relying on a recognised legal adequacy mechanism, and that it is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

We may transfer your personal information outside the EEA:

  • in order to store it;

  • in order to enable us to provide goods or services to you and fulfil our contract with you. This includes order fulfilment, processing of payment details, and the provision of support services;

  • where we are legally required to do so;

  • in order to facilitate the operation of our group of businesses, where it is in our legitimate interests and we have concluded these are not overridden by your rights.

Where your personal data is transferred outside the EEA we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that this data is subject to appropriate and required safeguards. Some non-EEA countries are recognized by the European Commission as having an "adequate" level of data protection according to the standards set by the European Commission. For a list of these non-EEA countries with adequate safeguards and how the European Commission came to this determination click here.
