On this page we inform you about the processing of your personal data on the website.

How we collect and use your personal data depends on how you interact with us or which services you use. We will only collect, use or share your personal data where we have a legitimate purpose and legal basis for doing so.

What do we mean by legal basis?

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For more information on how you can withdraw your consent, please refer to the subsections "Exercising your rights" in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Contract (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) -We need to use your data to fulfill a contract you have with us. Alternatively, it is necessary to use your data because we have asked you to do so or because you have taken certain steps yourself before entering into this contract.

Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR) -We must use your data to comply with the law.

Vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR) - The processing of your data is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, to protect you from serious physical harm.

Data sharing and international transfer

As explained in this Privacy Policy, we use various service providers to help us provide our services and keep your data secure. If we use these service providers, it is necessary for us to pass on your personal data to them.

We have concluded agreements with all service providers to whom we pass on your data, obliging them to protect your data.

If your personal data is transferred outside the EU, we will ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection, either because the country to which your data is transferred has an "adequate" standard of data protection according to the European Commission, or by using another safeguard, such as an enhanced contractual arrangement, i.e. the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission.

For example, when we use US service providers, we rely on either the SCC or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, depending on the provider. You can request a copy of the SCCs we have entered into with our service providers by sending an email to the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.
