Third parties (processors) engaged by us

For the processing of your personal data, we may engage service providers (so-called processors) who – exclusively on our behalf and on the basis of our instructions – process (part of) your personal data.

We conclude a processing agreement with these processors. This processing agreement states, among other things, that the processors will only act on our instructions and the personal data may not be processed for their own purposes. The processing agreement also includes, among other things, agreements on the scope of the processing by the processor(s) and any sub-processors, the degree of confidentiality of the personal data to be processed, and the obligation to take adequate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your personal data.

Processors that we use are, for example, parties that offer and host software used by us. We also use ICT service providers to manage our IT network. In addition, we use third-party services to send our newsletters.

Transmission of personal data to third parties

In the context of our services, it may be necessary to share personal data. Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes. For sending e-mail newsletters, we use service providers (processors) established outside the European Economic Area (EEA). These parties will ensure an adequate level of personal data security in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR. In our contractual relationship with these processor(s), we use model contracts approved by the European Commission (Decision 2010/87/EC) as appropriate precautionary measures.
