We disclose your personal data to third parties only with your legit permission pursuant to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. a) GDPR, the disclosure is essential according to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. f) GDPR for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or for safeguarding our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have predominant legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data (e.g. courts, lawyers), for the case where a legal obligation exists for the disclose according to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. c) GDPR (e.g. revenue authorities) and as far as legally permissible and essential for the execution of the contractual relationship with you pursuant to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. b) GDPR (e.g. banks, logistics service providers).

We currently do not intend to transmit your personal data to a third country or to an international organisation. Should we transmit personal data to service providers or allied companies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), then it is transmitted only if the EU Commission has qualified the third country to have an appropriate data protection level or if other appropriate data protection guarantees are present (e.g. binding in-house Data Protection Legislations or EU standard contract clauses).

9. Are you obligated to provide your data?

You must provide that personal data to us, which is required for reasoning and executing a contractual relationship and for fulfilling the associated contractual obligations or for the collection of which we are legally obligated. Without this data, we shall not be able to conclude and execute the contract with you.
