If we transfer personal data to a country without adequate statutory data protection, we ensure an adequate level of protection by using appropriate contracts (based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses) or binding corporate rules or rely on the statutory exceptions, such as your consent, the conclusion or performance of a contract, or the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims. You can contact the data protection officer under section 1) for further information on the measures implemented.
