We use tools from companies based in non-secure third countries and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these states and processed there.

We would like to note that the USA, as a generally secure third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient has certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees.

When using data processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing.
