Effective Date: 1st March 2026
- INTRODUCTION
- The purpose of this International Data Transfer Agreements Repository (“Repository”) is to identify the International Data Transfer Agreements that apply when a Counterparty Processes Personal Information subject to Privacy Laws requiring specific cross-border data transfer mechanisms. Each International Data Transfer Agreement reflects the jurisdiction-specific contractual terms mandated or recognized by the relevant data protection authority and applies only where required under that jurisdiction’s laws. Without limiting the Counterparty’s obligations under the Privacy and Data Protection Schedule, the Counterparty shall comply with the applicable International Data Transfer Agreement whenever its Processing activities trigger a cross-border transfer requirement. For clarity, all jurisdiction-specific transfer mechanisms referenced in this Repository are deemed International Data Transfer Agreements.
- INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
- These International Data Transfer Agreements are incorporated by reference via Amgen’s Privacy and Data Protection Schedule. By Processing Personal Information for Amgen, Counterparty agrees to the latest version of the applicable International Data Transfer Agreement(s) made available in this Repository, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- MAINTENANCE AND UPDATES
- This Repository is maintained by Amgen’s Privacy Compliance team and updated as needed. Counterparty is responsible for reviewing this Repository to comply with the current applicable version.
- USE OF UPDATED INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
- The International Data Transfer Agreements made available in this Repository constitute the current versions required by Amgen for the Processing of Personal Information. To the extent an earlier version of an International Data Transfer Agreement was previously incorporated by reference into the Agreement or the Privacy Schedule, the version made available in this Repository replaces such earlier version on a going-forward basis and applies to all Processing from the date it is posted, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Amgen. For clarity, this section does not modify or supersede the terms of any International Data Transfer Agreement itself, including any Standard Contractual Clauses or regulator-issued addenda, which remain in effect as mandated by applicable Privacy Laws.
- CONFLICTS
- In the event of any conflict between this Repository and the Privacy Schedule, the Privacy Schedule controls. In the event of any conflict between this Repository and an applicable International Data Transfer Agreement, the International Data Transfer Agreement controls to the extent required under applicable Privacy Laws.
