Your personal data will only be transferred to a recipient in a third country or to international organisations for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection or measures have been taken to ensure that they have an adequate level of data protection. Otherwise, data will only be transferred if this is necessary for the establishment or defence of legal claims (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. e GDPR), for the performance of a mandate (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. b or c GDPR) or if this is necessary for important reasons of public interest (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. d GDPR).
