We use technologies from service providers on our website whose server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. These include, among others, the USA. If, as in the case of the USA, there is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees. The ECJ ruled in July 2020 that the Privacy Shield Agreement between the EU and the USA can no longer be used to transfer personal data to the USA. This means that the sectoral adequacy decision has been repealed. Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses from the EU Commission or binding internal data protection regulations (Binding Corporate Rules) are generally possible, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the ECJ ruling, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures. We have generally agreed to the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission and which continue to apply with the third-party technologies we use that process personal data in a third country such as the USA. Where possible, we also agree on additional guarantees to ensure that adequate data protection is guaranteed in the USA or other third countries. Regardless of this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In these cases, if necessary, as part of the cookie consent, we ask you for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country. This applies in particular to data transfer to the USA. In particular, there is a risk that (US) authorities may not receive sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from an EU perspective, without us as the data exporter or you as the data subject noticing this and you may not have any legal remedies available to you to prevent or take action against such access.
