Provision required or required

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is not legally nor contractually required. Without the IP address, however, the service and functionality of our website is not guaranteed. Additionally, individual services may not be available or limited. For this reason, a contradiction is excluded.

International Applicability and Data transfers

If personal data is transferred to service providers in third countries (especially the USA), this will only be done in compliance with appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR, for example via:

  • EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or
  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses

National Data Protection Regulations in Germany

In addition to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), additional national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), which contains specific provisions on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, data processing for other purposes, as well as data transfer and automated decision-making, including profiling. In addition, the data protection laws of the individual federal states may also apply.

Note on the applicability of the GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG)

This privacy policy provides information in accordance with both the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) and the GDPR. For reasons of clarity and due to the expanded scope of application, the terms of the GDPR are used in this notice. This particularly applies to the terms "processing" of personal data, "legitimate interest," and "special categories of data," which are referred to in the Swiss Data Protection Act as "processing" of "personal data," "overriding interest," and "personal data worthy of particular protection." The legal meaning of these terms continues to be governed by the definitions of the Swiss Data Protection Act within the scope of application of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG).

Data Processing in Third Countries

If personal data is transferred to a third country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) – for example, when using third-party services or if this is expressly mentioned in the privacy policy – ​​this is always done in compliance with the legal requirements.

For transfers to the USA, we primarily rely on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which is recognized as a secure legal framework by the EU Commission's adequacy decision of July 10, 2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective service providers that comply with the EU Commission's requirements and contractually ensure the protection of your data.

Through this two-tiered safeguard – the DPF as the main protection mechanism and the standard contractual clauses as an additional measure – we guarantee comprehensive protection of your data. Should the legal situation regarding the DPF change, the standard contractual clauses will automatically apply as a fallback option. This ensures that your data continues to be adequately protected even in the event of future legal or policy changes.

Third country transfer

Google processes your data in the USA. Your personal data will be passed on to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
