  • Information (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Deletion (Art. 17 DSGVO)
  • Restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO)

link https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

 

4. Data transfer to third countries

When selecting external services and service providers on our website, we endeavour to use European companies wherever possible. In certain cases, however, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to recipients in so-called third countries.

Such a transfer only takes place if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled. These include in particular

  • An adequacy decision by the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR,
  • Appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR (e.g. standard contractual clauses),
  • If none of these bases exist, the processing is carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

We would like to point out that in some third countries (e.g. the USA) no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies may be obliged to disclose personal data to government agencies without effective legal remedies being available to data subjects. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities may access, analyse and permanently store personal data.
