8. International Data Transfer

We process your data mainly within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of our service providers (e.g., Vercel, Formspree, Mailchimp, Google, Adobe) may be based outside the EEA in so-called "third countries," particularly the USA. We ensure that all our data recipients fulfill the requirements of the GDPR for international data transfers. Before we transfer your data to a service provider in a third country, each service provider is first checked for its level of data protection. A service provider is only selected if it can demonstrate an adequate level of data protection outside the EEA, e.g., by concluding EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

9. Data Security and Security Measures

We undertake to treat your personal data confidentially. In order to prevent manipulation, loss or misuse of your data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.

However, we would like to point out that due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data - e.g. when sent by e-mail - may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is your responsibility as a user to protect the data you provide against misuse by means of encryption or in any other way.
