2.4 Disclosure of data / transfer to third parties

We use external service providers for processing your data in some cases. They have been carefully selected and engaged by us, are bound to follow our instructions and are regularly checked.

Your personal data is only transferred to third parties or otherwise transferred if this is necessary for the performance of a contract or invoicing or you have previously given your consent for us to do so.

Our service providers may only use the data thus transferred for the completion of their task. Any other use of the information is prohibited and none of the service providers entrusted by us engage in such activities.

Besides, we shall never sell your data to third parties or otherwise transfer it without your consent. This rule applies in all cases, except a legal obligation states otherwise (e.g. information to certain authorities within the scope of their legal tasks) or if it is necessary for enforcing our rights or services, particularly for the assertion of claims arising from the contractual relationship.
