Purpose of processing
The purpose of processing your data is to enable your participation in the QS Global Employer Survey, which is an essential part of international university rankings.

Transfer to third countries
Your personal data will be transferred to QS, which is based outside the EU/EEA. This means your data will be processed in a third country that may not have the same level of data protection as within the EU/EEA. The transfer is necessary for your participation in the QS Global Employer Survey.
