In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Note on data transfer to third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law and transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified<\/strong><\/p>

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection. <\/p>

We would like to point out that the US, as a secure third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the US is therefore permissible if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy. <\/p>

Recipients of personal data<\/strong><\/p>

We work with various external parties in the course of our business activities. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers\u2019 personal data on the basis of a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded. <\/p>

Revocation of your consent to data processing<\/strong><\/p>

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. <\/p>

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)<\/strong><\/p>

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). <\/p>

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Information, correction, and deletion<\/strong><\/p>
