We are not responsible for the processing of such personal data by third parties.
When activating a link to a third-party offering, personal data may be transferred to providers in countries outside the European Economic Area which, from the perspective of the European Union (“EU”), may not ensure an adequate level of protection of personal data.
Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective provider for further information on how your data is processed.

Within the scope of the processing of your personal data, you have certain rights under the GDPR (Articles 15–21). To exercise your rights, please contact us.
We aim to process your requests promptly. Depending on the frequency of inquiries, it may take up to 30 days before we can provide you with further information. If more time is required, we will inform you in due time about the reasons for the delay and discuss the next steps with you.
Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process personal data concerning you. If this is the case, you have the right to access information about:
