The processing of your personal data generally takes place in a member state of the European Union (EU) or in another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). A transfer of personal data to a third country or access to this data from a third country only takes place if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are fulfilled (e.g. through the agreement of standard contractual clauses or if the recipient acts on the basis of a legal basis which the European Commission has decided pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR (so-called adequacy decision)). For more details, please refer to the individual providers mentioned in chapter 3.
Note: Data transfer to the USA
With regard to the use of analysis cookies and third-party cookies (such as Google or YouTube), data transmission to the USA cannot be ruled out. Unfortunately, this is currently not possible in accordance with data protection regulations. In this respect, please note this when you give us your declaration of consent regarding the setting of these cookies.
We would like to point out that in its ruling of 16.07.2020 (Case C-311/18), the ECJ declared the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement on the permissible transfer of data between the EU and the USA to be inadmissible and that personal data cannot currently be transferred to the USA in a data protection-compliant manner. The reason for this is existing laws in the USA that give security authorities far-reaching powers to monitor "foreign communications". We hereby expressly draw your attention to this risk.
