Due to the complexity of today’s data processing processes, we engage processors to process your data. As far as possible, we only use processors that are based within the European Union or the European Economic Area and are therefore subject to the GDPR.
In exceptional cases, however, we may transfer data to third countries (i.e. outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) and have it processed there. If we transfer data to third countries, the transfer takes place exclusively in compliance with the required conditions of admissibility (in particular the existence of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, conclusion of standard data protection clauses including – if necessary – additional agreement of further technical and organisational as well as contractual measures). If your data is transferred to a third country, you can request a copy of the appropriate or suitable safeguards from our data protection organisation.
In order for us to efficiently respond to such a request, we ask you to contact us using the contact data listed below and to provide us with confirmation of your identity, for example, by sending us an electronic copy of your ID.
The security of your personal data is extremely important to us. We take specific measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, manipulation or disclosure, including the following:
