7 Opt-Out for remarketing and tracking

We do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA (so-called “non-EU countries”) without taking appropriate protective measures. Nevertheless, non-EU countries do not offer a level of data protection identical to that in the EU. Neither the protection of personal data known from the EU exists there, nor do corresponding rights or remedies of the data subjects exist with regard to their personal data.

We only transmit your personal data if

• The Commission has taken a so-called adequacy decision for the third country or the recipient in that third country;
• if guarantees are provided by the recipient in accordance with Art. 46 DSGVO for the protection of the personal data (including any additional measures required);
• you have expressly consented to the transfer after we have informed you of the risks in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a) DSGVO; or
• the transfer is necessary for the performance of contractual obligations between you and us

Guarantees according to Art. 46 DSGVO can be so-called standard contractual clauses as well as binding internal data protection regulations with which the recipients assure to sufficiently protect the data and thus to guarantee a level of protection comparable to the GDPR. We will be happy to provide you with further information upon request.
