IV. CONSENT

The General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: GDPR) requires that users must give their consent to the use of cookies before they can be used. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

B. CONSENT MANAGER COOKIEBOT

Our website uses cookie consent technology of Cookiebot to obtain your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR for the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics A/S (Cookiebot – Cybot A/S), Havnegade 39, 1058 Kopenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter Cookiebot).

When you enter our website, a Cookiebot cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consent you have given or the revocation of this consent is stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Cookiebot.

The collected data is stored until you ask us to delete it or delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself or until the purpose for data storage no longer applies.

The Cookiebot cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR).

II. DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT (DPA)

We use Cookiebot to collect user data and pass this on to the external provider Cybot for processing in accordance with our instructions. In fulfilment of the legal requirements, we are obligated under Art. 28 GDPR to conclude an agreement for data processing (hereinafter "DPA") with the provider Cybot.

The agreement specifies 

• which customer data Cookiebot stores and for how long,
• why and how Cookiebot processes this data and
• what rights and obligations the data controllers have.

If we do not fulfil these obligations, we may be fined in accordance with Art. 83 para. 4 lit. a. GDPR. Below you can find the DPA with Cookiebot: DPA_01_2023_without signature_v6.docx (cookiebot.com)

III. STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES

We inform you that we pass on the collected user data to Cookiebot. The transferred data is stored on servers in the USA.

In order to legally secure this data transfer, we must conclude standard contractual clauses with the provider. Standard contractual clauses, also known as SCCs for short, are required for data transfers of personal data to third countries outside the EU. The clauses are therefore used to contractually establish European data protection standards between data exporters in the European Economic Area and data importers in third countries.
