We only transfer personal data if necessary for the provision of a specific service or a specific purpose. Third parties process personal data in accordance with our instructions and only for the purpose specified by us. In addition, such processors must implement appropriate organizational and technical measures to ensure data security.

In particular, you must expect your data to be transmitted to any country in which the Company is represented by affiliates, branches or other offices as well as to other countries where our processors are located.
If the personal data is processed in a third country where the level of data protection is deemed inadequate, we will ensure an adequate level through a contractractual agreements (particularly on the basis of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses), corporate binding rules, or other measures permitted by law so that an adequate level of data protection is ensured. We may also transfer personal data based on the exception of explicit consent, of processing of a contract, for the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims, of overriding public interests, or because the transfer is necessary to protect the physical integrity of the data subject.
We may also disclose information when necessary or requested by authorities in defense of our rights or property, including the safety of our products and services.

In addition, your personal data is protected against access, alteration or misuses by unauthorized persons (e.g. via access controls and access restrictions as well as internal instructions). The data transfer of sensitive data is encrypted and can take place via various channels, including the Internet..
