§ 8 Data transfer to third countries
In the context of the data processing described in this privacy statement, we may use services whose providers are partly located in so-called third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) or process personal data there, i.e. countries whose level of data protection does not correspond to that of the European Union. Where this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision (Article 45 GDPR) for these countries, we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection for any data transfers. These include, among others, the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or binding corporate rules for data transfer (Article 47 GDPR).
Where this is not possible, we base the transfer of data on exceptions according to Article 49 GDPR, in particular your explicit consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
If a third country transfer is intended and there is no adequacy decision or suitable guarantees, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence services) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyse it, and that enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed.
