When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in unsanctioned third countries no data protection level comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed.

We point out that the USA as a safe third country generally has a comparable level of data protection to that in the EU. A data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient holds a certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of data, can be found in this privacy policy.

When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid order processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing contract is concluded.
