If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are insecure in terms of data protection.

Data transfer to the USA is permitted if the recipient is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies.

If your personal data is processed to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail.
