The processing of Personal Information (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored Personal Information will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you of the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your Personal Information in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.
III. Who will receive my data?
We only pass on your Personal Information that we process on our Website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In addition, in individual cases we pass on Personal Information to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our Website who process Personal Information on our behalf as part of order processing, they may be recipients of your Personal Information.

Purpose and legal basis
The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in a secure and efficient provision as well as the optimization of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.
We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The transfer of data to the USA takes place in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The participating U.S. companies and/or their U.S. subcontractors are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).
In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission (including US companies that are not EU-U.S. DPF certified), we have other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. A copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses can be found at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE .
In addition, before such a third country transfer, we obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a. GDPR, which you give via consent in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that in the case of transfers to third countries, there may be risks unknown in detail (e.g. data processing by security authorities of the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which we do not know for you, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware).
