Note on data transfer to the United States and other third countries
The tools we use include tools from companies based in the United States or other third countries with an inadequate level of data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security agencies without you as a data subject being able to take any legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We do not have any influence on these processing activities.
