2. Passing on of personal data

Your data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only pass on your data to third parties, if:

  • there is a legal obligation to pass on (art.6 para.1 lit. c EU-GDPR), 
  • the disclosure is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data (art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f EU-GDPR).

In these cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data is limited to the required minimum.

Our privacy protection regulations are in accordance with the applicable privacy protection regulations and the data are processed only in the Federal Republic of Germany / European Union.  A transfer to third countries does not take place and is not intended.
