If we charge third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called „ order processcing contract „ this is done on the basis of art. 28 GDPR.

If we process data in a third country ( i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area ( EEA ) or if this occours in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this only takes place if it occurs for the fulfilment of our (pre-) contractual obligations, on the basis of the user´s consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions , we process or leave the data in a third country only if the special requirements of art. 44 ff.  GDPR apply.
