5. International Data Transfers
Because GoodFellas provides international travel, visa, work abroad, and mobility services, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These may include countries where:
- Embassies, consulates, or immigration authorities are located

Where personal data is transferred outside your jurisdiction, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate protections are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

When you upload documents — such as passports, CVs, licences, or business certificates — these may contain sensitive personal or confidential business information. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect uploaded documents, including:
- Secure, access-controlled storage environments
- Restricted access — only authorised personnel and relevant processes can access uploaded documents
- Encrypted transmission of data during upload
- Signed URL access for administrative document retrieval
- Regular review of access controls and storage security
Despite our safeguards, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We encourage you to share only documents that are necessary for the service you have requested.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including:
- As long as your enquiry, application, registration, or partnership remains active
- As required to comply with legal, regulatory, or tax obligations
- As necessary to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements
- For a reasonable period after service completion to maintain records
When personal data is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it in accordance with applicable law.
