Notice Regarding Data Transfer to the USA and Third Countries
We use tools provided by companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries. When these tools are active, personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries.

For example, U.S. companies may be required to surrender personal data to security authorities without any legal recourse for affected individuals. U.S. authorities may process and store such data for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. Sometimes, personal data must be transferred to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for fulfilling a contract, if legally required, if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the transfer. When using processors, we transfer personal data only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing (Art. 21(2) GDPR).
