When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.

The USA is generally considered a secure third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data if this is necessary for contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so, if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis can be found in this privacy policy.

If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have them transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

You can contact us at any time regarding this or other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.

• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.

• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction.

If processing has been restricted, these data may only be processed, apart from storage, with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
