Unfortunately, based on the laws of non-EU states (e.g. the CLOUD Act in the USA), even if appropriate agreements and rules have been laid down there is the possibility of government agencies in particular having access to your personal data, without us being able to prevent, prohibit or monitor this.

If service providers in third countries are used and we are able to exert any influence over them, in addition to our written instructions we also place them under obligation to comply with the level of data protection in Europe by agreeing to EU standard contractual clauses. Alternatively, we may transfer data on the basis of binding corporate rules or an adequacy decision.
