Your personal data is generally processed within the EU or the European Economic Area or Switzerland.

Only in connection with the cooperation between the companies of the Beisheim Groups in Germany and Switzerland and/or the provision of IT services in connection with the operation of the website (such as the use of applications for website analysis) may information be transferred to recipients in so-called "third countries". "Third countries" means countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area in which a level of data protection comparable to that in the European Union cannot readily be assumed.

If the information transferred also includes personal data, we ensure prior to such transfer that the required adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in the respective third country or at the recipient in the third country. In the case of the companies of the Beisheim Group Switzerland located in Switzerland, the adequate level of data protection results from a so-called "adequacy decision" of the European Commission, which establishes an adequate level of data protection for Switzerland as a whole. Further information on this and other adequacy decisions can be found on the websites of the European Commission here. Alternatively, we may also base the data transfer on the so-called "EU Standard Contractual Clauses" agreed with a recipient (further information here) or – in the case of recipients in the USA – on compliance with the principles of the so-called "EU-US Privacy Shield" (more information on the participants here) and take the necessary supplementary measures. We will be happy to provide you with further information on the appropriate and adequate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection upon request; the contact details can be found at the beginning of this privacy information.
