3. Entrustment and Overseas Transfer of Personal Information

To provide the Service smoothly, the Operator entrusts the processing of personal information to the overseas providers below, and in this process personal information is transferred abroad. The transferred personal information is sent over the network at the time the Service is used, and is retained until the purpose of entrustment is achieved or the member withdraws.
