If, in exceptional cases, we are unable to comply with these principles, data processing may still be lawful because there is a justification. In particular, the following grounds for justification may apply:

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this.
2.4 In which cases can we pass on your data to third parties?
a. Principle
Under certain circumstances, we may need to utilise the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors).
Categories of recipients are in particular:
