Where you have given consent, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR (processing of special categories of data). In cases of express consent to transfer personal data to third countries, processing also takes place based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Note on Data Transfers to Third Countries and to US Companies not Certified under the DPF
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that do not guarantee a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU.
When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries.
We note that no comparable level of protection to that in the EU can be guaranteed in all third countries.
For the United States, an adequate level of protection generally applies under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). Data transfers to the USA are permitted if the recipient is certified under the DPF or has appropriate additional guarantees.
More information about transfers to third countries can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we may transfer data to external parties. We only share personal data if necessary for contract fulfillment, if required by law (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if other legal bases permit the data transfer.
When using processors, we transfer personal data only based on a valid Data Processing Agreement.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.
IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (2) GDPR).
