Data Transfers to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. These countries may not offer the same level of data protection as the EU.

Where data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation — including profiling based on those provisions. Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time (Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) or Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
