In doing so, strict attention is paid to ensuring that all statutory requirements are met before passing on the data. In general, only certain data is requested (e.g., technical user data), but in principle the obligation to pass on data may apply to all data collected. Before each transfer of personal data, we critically check whether we are obliged to do so.

We also pass on personal data in the context of legal proceedings (e.g., to external lawyers) if this is necessary to assert our rights (e.g., to protect intellectual property rights).

In any case, the following shall apply: If the purpose of processing has ceased to exist or if data is no longer required to achieve this purpose and there are no further statutory storage obligations to the contrary, we delete the relevant data (e.g., we delete support tickets at the latest 9 months after we have processed your request).

9. Recipient of Personal Data

To achieve the processing purposes described above, we pass on personal data to various categories of recipients. The concrete passing on of personal data about you depends largely on which of our services you use.
