Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. Information is stored in the Cookie that is related to the specific end device used.

However, the use of certain areas of our Services may require the provision of personal data, in particular the purchase of goods. If you do not wish to provide us with the necessary data, you will unfortunately not be able to use the corresponding areas of the Services.

5. Recipients of Personal Data

5.1. Transmission of Data to Third Parties

We will only disclose your data to third parties outside of ABOUT YOU if this is legally permissible (e.g., because we or the third party have a legitimate interest in the disclosure, we are legally obligated to disclose the data, or based on your consent).

In addition to the third parties named in our Privacy Policy by name, we may disclose personal data to a third party in particular if,

Insofar as we pass on your data to third parties on the basis of your consent, the explanation can also be given when consent is obtained.

5.2. Transmission to Processors

In the course of processing your data, we use so-called processors in some areas. A processor is a natural or legal person who processes personal data on our behalf and on the basis of our instructions, whereby we remain responsible for the data processing. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes, but carry out data processing exclusively for the Controller.

6. Storage Period and Data Deletion

ABOUT YOU stores personal data only as long as it is necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, in particular for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations. If necessary, we will also store your personal data for further purposes, if or as long as the further storage for certain purposes is permitted by law.

7. Recipients outside the EEA

We also share personal data with third parties or processors located in countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). In this case, we ensure that the recipient either has an adequate level of data protection or has your express consent before transferring the data.

An adequate level of data protection exists, for example, if the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the respective country (Art. 45 GDPR). For the U.S., the European Commission has adopted the decision that an adequate level of data protection exists there, provided that the data recipient participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and has a current certification for this. If the recipients of your personal data are located in the U.S. and participate in the DPF, we therefore rely on this adequacy decision (Article 45 GDPR).

Alternatively, we establish an adequate level of data protection by agreeing with recipients on the so-called EU standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (Art. 46 GDPR). In this case, we conduct transfer impact assessments and agree with the recipient or, if necessary, implement additional protective measures. Specifically, we agree Module 1 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with recipients who are (independent) controllers and Module 2 of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with recipients who act as our Processors.

These are third parties or processors in the following countries: U.S. (we rely in this respect on the "DPF").

You can obtain a copy of the specifically agreed regulations for ensuring the appropriate level of data protection from us. Please contact us at [email protected] or the contact information listed in Section 2.
