As a rule, your personal data is processed by our company’s personnel in the course of their duties. We may also outsource some data processing tasks, such as the storage and handling of personal data using IT systems. In such cases, we ensure, for example through agreements, that the confidentiality of your data is maintained and that the data is processed in compliance with applicable laws. We may also disclose data to fulfill contractual obligations or when required by law or a competent authority. Additionally, we may transfer your data in connection with a corporate or business transaction in which we are involved.

Are my data transferred outside the EU?

If this occurs, we ensure that the processing, transfer, and storage of your data are carried out based on legal grounds and with adequate protective measures

How long is my personal data retained?

We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the purpose of processing or as required by contract or law. However, retention periods may vary depending on the purpose and situation. We also strive to update your data from time to time.
