1. you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
2. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR,
4. the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data or
5. this is carried out by a service provider acting on our behalf and on our exclusive instructions, whom we have carefully selected (Art. 28 para. 1 GDPR) and with whom we have concluded a corresponding contract for order processing (Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR), which obliges our contractor to implement appropriate security measures, among other things, and grants us comprehensive control powers.
6. Transmission to service providers in accordance with letter e. for the purpose of order processing takes place in the following areas: technical provision and programming of the website, user communication, provision of software as a service.

‍(2) In some cases, we use external service providers with whom we have concluded a corresponding contract for order processing (Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR) to process your data. These service providers have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.

(3) Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer additional services together with partners. You will receive more detailed information on this when you provide your personal data or in the description of the respective offer.

(4) As part of our activities, your personal data may also be passed on or disclosed to external third parties located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing takes place exclusively to fulfill our contractual obligations and to maintain your contractual relationship with us.

The European Commission certifies that some third countries have a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible via binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates, recognized codes of conduct or self-certification via the EU-US Privacy Shield (information on this can be found here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome).
