IV. Data transfer to third countries

As part of our business activities, we may also transfer your personal data to recipients in countries outside the European Economic Area ("third countries") that do not have the same level of data protection as your home country. If this is the case and the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the third country in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR, we take additional precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to these third countries. In particular. Where we transfer personal data to third countries, we comply with the applicable data protection requirements and take appropriate security measures to ensure that your personal data is protected and secure, in particular by agreeing EU standard contractual clauses. Nevertheless, it is possible that authorities in the respective third country may be able to access your data without you being aware of this and without you having any effective legal protection against this. If a transfer on the basis of such guarantees is not possible, we will obtain your express consent with separate reference to existing risks of the transfer in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 a) GDPR. If you would like more information about these security measures, you can contact us at any time using the contact options at the beginning.
