Data sharing and international transfers

As explained throughout this Privacy Policy, we use various service providers to help us deliver our services and keep your data secure. When we use these service providers, it is necessary for us to share your personal data with them.

We have agreements in place with all our service providers that we share your data with that oblige them to protect your data.

Where your personal data is shared outside the EU, we ensure that your personal data is given an equivalent level of protection, either because the jurisdiction to which your data is transferred has an ‘adequate’ data protection standard according to the European Commission, or by using another safeguard such as an enhanced contractual agreement, i.e. Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (SCCs).

For example, where we use US service providers, we either rely on SCCs or the EU-US Data Protection Framework, depending on the specific provider. You can request a copy of SCCs we have concluded with our service providers by sending an email to the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.

With Google Tag Manager, tags from Google and third-party services can be managed and bundled and embedded on an online presence. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behavior, capture the impact of online advertising and social channels, use remarketing and targeting, and test and optimize online presences. When a user visits the online presence, the current tag configuration is sent to the user’s browser. It contains statements about which tags are to be triggered. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. You will find information on this in the passages on the use of the corresponding services in this data protection declaration. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
