We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is disclosed to processors under a commissioned processing agreement, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO. We select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data.
