Data transfers to third countries only arise in the context of the administration of IT systems in accordance with the regulations on commissioned processing and only insofar as a) the transfer is permissible in principle and b) the special conditions for a transfer to a third country exist, in particular the data importer guarantees an appropriate level of data protection as determined by the European Commission for the country in which the data importer is based or in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in the context of commissioned processing in third countries. This is based on the provisions of the European Data Protection Regulation, the German Federal Data Protection Act and the German Telemedia Act.
