betlk primarily stores and processes your data within secure data centers.

Where such international transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual data protection clauses and equivalent data protection standards consistent with the Data Privacy Act of 2012. We do not transfer your data to jurisdictions that do not provide adequate levels of data protection without implementing appropriate protective measures.
