Recipients of Personal Data<\/span><\/h3>\nAs part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.<\/span><\/p>\nWe only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally required to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer of data.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen using processors, we only disclose our customers\u2019 personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.<\/span><\/p>\nWithdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing<\/span><\/h3>\nMany data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.<\/span><\/p>\nRight to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)<\/span><\/h3>\nIF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.<\/span><\/p>\nTHE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR UNLESS THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).<\/span><\/p>\nIF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other.
