The data recipient undertakes to take far-reaching measures to protect the data so that the level of data protection is considered adequate.

It may also be the case that a data recipient has its own data protection rules approved by the competent data protection authority (so-called Binding Corporate Rules, BCR). If this is the case, we can also process the data transfer on the basis of these BCRs.
If data is transferred to the USA, we have ensured the best possible protection of the data through further agreements.
