6.6Data Location
Unless otherwise agreed, Personal Data is processed and stored in U.S. cloud regions.
7.Data Subject Requests
Because GoKart does not store end-user identifiers capable of uniquely identifying individuals:

Notification is not required for blocked or unsuccessful security events or for events not involving Personal Data.
9.International Transfers
If Customer is subject to the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws, the following applies:
- GoKart (a U.S.-based Processor) relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses (2021) as the transfer mechanism.
- The SCCs (Module 2: Controller to Processor) are incorporated by reference.
- The Annexes of the SCCs map to:
- Annex I: Parties, roles, and purposes (reflected in Sections 1–4)
- Annex II: Security measures (Section 6.3)
- Annex III: Subprocessors (Appendix A)
- GoKart will support Customer's Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) with information reasonably available.
