Who might Porsche share my personal data with, and what happens if it's transferred out of the UK?

As you may know, we are part of the global Porsche AG group - and entities across the Porsche network are involved in processing data. We might also need to transfer your data to other third parties - e.g. potential business partners, acquiring entities, suppliers, or government bodies. Our policy is to limit who has access to that data as much as we can. If we need to transfer data out of the UK, Porsche will take all necessary measures to ensure your data is adequately protected.
