These are, for example, IT service providers that we require for the operation and security of our IT system as well as advertising and address publishers for our own advertising campaigns.

Your data will be processed in our customer database. The customer database supports the enhancement of the data quality of the existing customer data (duplicate cleansing, moved/deceased indicators, address correction), and enables the augmentation with data from public sources.

This data is made available to the Group companies if this becomes necessary for the execution of the contract. Customer data is saved separately and is company-specific, with our parent group acting as a service provider for the individual participating companies.

In the event of a legal obligation and within the scope of a judicial prosecution, authorities and courts as well as external auditors may be recipients of your data.

In addition, for the purpose of contract negotiations and completion, insurance companies, banks, credit agencies and service providers may be recipients of your data.
