In some cases, we may have to transfer your personal data to a TÜV SÜD company located in a third country. In these cases, we will only transfer your data with your consent (Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR) or if such transfer expressly results from our contract with you or your company (Art. 49 (1) lit. b or c GDPR).
In some cases, we use services on our website that are hosted in, or process data in, third countries. These third countries cannot always furnish evidence of adequate data protection standards (adequacy decision) and are therefore considered to be of particular concern under data protection law. Given this, we have concluded standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR with the providers of these services. On request, we will provide you with a copy of the standard data protection clauses concluded with the individual providers.
Any further processing of your personal data will generally only be carried out to the extent permitted on the basis of a legal regulation or where you have consented to data processing or data use. In the case of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data were originally collected, we will inform you about these other services and provide you with all other significant information before further processing. In these cases you are under no obligation, either legal or contractual, to disclose your data.
In accordance with Art. 22 (1) (4) GDPR, no automatic decision-making, including profiling, will be undertaken within the scope of your visit to this website.
Your personal data are passed on to law-enforcement authorities where this is necessary to clarify unlawful use of our services or for the purpose of asserting our legal rights. However, such a transfer will only take place if there is concrete evidence of illegal conduct or misuse. A transfer of personal data can also take place where this helps to enforce the terms and conditions of use or other agreements. We are also under legal obligation to provide information to certain public bodies on request. These include law-enforcement authorities, authorities prosecuting administrative offences punishable by a fine, and financial authorities.
