12. Data transfer to third countries

We may transfer your personal data to a third country. In principle, we can provide various appropriate guarantees to ensure that an adequate level of protection is brought about for the processing operations. It is possible to conduct data transfers on the basis of an adequacy decision, internal data protection rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. a – f GDPR.

If we make a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 (1) a GDPR, you will be informed at this point about the possible risks of a data transfer to a third country.

There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not provide an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the respective third country or if certain agreements between the European Union and the respective third country are declared invalid. Specifically, in some third countries there are risks regarding the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of surveillance laws (for example, the USA). In such a case, it is our responsibility and that of the recipient to assess whether your rights receive an equivalent level of protection in the third country as in the Union and can also be effectively enforced.

However, the General Data Protection Regulation should not undermine the level of protection afforded to individuals throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organisations, including when personal data are further transferred from a third country or from an international organisation to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organisation.

13. Integration of other services and contents of third parties

a. Purpose and description

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos, fonts or graphics from other websites, are integrated within our online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third party providers”) are aware of your IP address. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to your browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform you of it. We would like to provide and improve our online offer through these integrations.

b. Legal basis

In all other cases, our legitimate interest in an appropriate presentation of our online presence and in user-friendly and economically efficient services on our part is the corresponding legal basis, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information can be found in the respective data protection statements of the providers.

c. Contractual or legal obligation

The provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide such data may result in you not being able to use this function or not being able to use it to its full extent.

14. Duration of storage of personal data

Your personal data will be stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the data is routinely deleted, unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of a contract.

15. Security

We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.
