Where do we store personal data of EU citizens?
We primarily process personal data on servers located within the EU/EEA.
However, we may need to transfer your personal data from a location within the EU/EEA to a third country. With regard to transfers of personal data to countries where the local data protection legislation does not provide an adequate level of data protection, we will implement appropriate safeguards under the GDPR to ensure that your personal data remains protected and secure. Such international transfers of personal data will be based on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
We store the personal data necessary for the fulfillment of the contract for the duration of the entire business relationship as well as in accordance with the legal obligations for storage and documentation and as mentioned above in the concrete context of the data processing.
