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?

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR)- You have given us your consent to process your personal data for the specific purpose we have explained to you. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For more information on how to 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 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.

Public task (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR) – The processing of your data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or because it is covered by a task defined by law, e.g. for a statutory function.

Data sharing and international transfer

As explained in this Privacy Policy, we use various service providers to help us provide our services and ensure the security of your data. When we use these service providers, it is necessary for us to share your personal data with 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 in place with our service providers by sending an email to the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.
