Should your personal data nevertheless be transferred, this will only take place if an adequate level of data protection is ensured in the third country in accordance with an adequacy decision of the European Commission or if suitable guarantees (e.g. data protection contracts using the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission) can ensure adequate protection of your personal data.

We have concluded standard contractual clauses with our subsidiaries in non-EU countries for which there is no adequacy decision.

7. Video conferences, online meetings and webinars

We use platforms and applications from other providers (“third-party providers”) for the purpose of holding video and audio conferences, webinars and other types of video and audio meetings. When selecting third-party providers and their services, we observe the legal requirements. In this context, data of the communication participants are processed and stored on the servers of the third-party providers, insofar as these are part of communication processes with us. This data may include, in particular, registration and contact data, visual and vocal contributions as well as entries in chats and shared screen content. If users are referred to third-party providers or their software or platforms in the context of communication, business or other relationships with us, the third-party providers may process usage data and metadata for security purposes, service optimisation or marketing purposes. We therefore ask you to observe the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers.

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses),

  • Content data (e.g. text entries, photographs, videos),
  • Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times),

We use the applications to conduct video and audio conferences, webinars and other types of video and audio meetings. If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers or certain functions (e.g. consent to the recording of conversations), the legal basis for processing is consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Furthermore, their use may be part of our (pre-)contractual services in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR, insofar as the use of third-party providers has been agreed in this context. Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient and secure communication with our communication partners in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.
