Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries. Please note that these countries do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time; this also applies to profiling related to such marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing (objection under Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
