Data may be transferred outside the area formed by the member states of the European Union or outside the European Economic Area to the extent necessary for the technical implementation of data processing, in which case the WFD complies with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Data may be transferred under model clauses approved by the European Commission or to recipients in the USA who are committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield arrangement.

Personal data is stored from the time the person voluntarily provides until termination of relational connection with the WFD or upon request of the person.

Information can be corrected or complemented by the controller or at the request of the registered person and by the controller when the relationship is terminated.

An individual has the right to inspect their information in the WFD register and request that erroneous information is corrected. The inspection request must be made by contacting the representative of the controller. The inspection is free of charge, once a year.
