What applies to data transfer to third countries?

We also transfer data to service providers outside the EU or EEA (so-called third countries). We have selected these service providers based on our legitimate interests in a proper and economical internal organisation.

These service providers or their processors have the necessary infrastructure in the third countries mentioned below to fulfil the purposes of data processing. You can find the purposes of the respective data processing sorted by services here.

Your rights are protected by the fact that the data transfer to the following countries, in cooperation with the following service providers, is based on an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1), (3) GDPR:

We would like to point out, as a precaution, that despite the agreement of the Commission's standard contractual clauses, it cannot be completely ruled out that

  • government (US) authorities may make requests for information to our service provider, and thus government (US) authorities may access your personal data. This is generally in line with European legal regulations, e.g. for the purpose of averting danger. However, the threshold for the admissibility of such data processing is higher in the EU than in the USA;
  • there is a risk that you may not be able to enforce your rights under the GDPR against the (US) authorities in the event of access to your personal data, or only to a limited extent.
