5. Disclosure of personal data/recipients of personal data
a) Internal receiver
Only those persons have access who need it for the stated purposes.
b) External receivers
We only pass on your personal data to external recipients if this is necessary for processing or handling your request, if we have another legal permission or if we have your consent to do so.
External recipients can be:
1. Processor
External service providers that we use for the provision of services, for example in the areas of technical infrastructure and maintenance or the provision of content relevant to agreements and contracts. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure that the protection of your personal data is maintained. The service providers may only use the data for the purposes specified by us.

In some cases, your data will be transferred to another body whose registered office or place of data processing is not located in a member state of the European Union or in another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
If there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the third country, we work towards an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of personal data outside the EEA by concluding appropriate agreements with the recipients, which are regularly concluded on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses, before the data is transferred.
7. Rights of data subjects

- in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, to revoke your consent to us at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing that was based on this consent in the future;
