The geographical scope of the application of the GDPR is very broad. The provisions of the GDPR apply, on the one hand within the territory of the EU and, on the other hand to all Controllers and Processors which process the personal data of EU citizens (even if they live outside the EU). Accordingly, the GDPR also applies to companies not established in the territory of the EU.

We might also process Personal Data outside the territory of the European Union. Marvia guarantees that Personal Data transferred outside the EU is handled by trustworthy vendors. Vendors are examined regularly and Marvia signs individual Data Processing Agreement to ensure the highest attainable standards of protection.
