    9. Data Transfer to Third Parties, Service Providers
    10. Data Transfer to Third Parties

      Your personal data will generally only be transferred to third parties as far as this is necessary to execute of the contract, if we or the third party have legitimate interests in transferring or if you have consented to this. If data is transferred to third parties based on legitimate interests, this will be explained in this privacy notice. Beyond or in addition to this, data may be transferred to third parties as far as we are obligated to do so under statutory provisions, or an enforceable decision made by an authority or a court.

      Service Providers

      We reserve the right to use service providers in processing data. Service providers are only given personal data that is necessary for their concrete task. Service providers are mostly involved as so-called processors which may only process users' personal data based on our instructions.

      The following categories of service providers are used:

      • 3rd party identity provider (These are not processors but independent controllers. If you log in with your LinkedIn, Google or Microsoft account, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.)
      • Cloud provider
      • 3rd party developers
      • Survey provider
    11. Data Transfer to Non-EEA Countries
    12. In the context of mtu Go, your personal data may be transferred or disclosed to third party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing will only take place on the basis of your consent or to provide the service.

      The European Commission certifies data protection comparable to the EEA standard in some third countries by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be obtained here: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. Where this is the case, we ensure that data protection is sufficiently guaranteed. We generally use the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission and, if necessary, take further measures to protect your personal data.
