The employees, managers, and/or representatives of the service providers or institutions and the specialized service providers appointed by them must respect the confidential nature of your personal data and may only use this data for the purposes for which it was provided.

If necessary, your personal data may be passed on to other third parties. This may be the case, for example, if we were to be reorganized in whole or in part, if our activities were to be transferred, or if we were to be declared bankrupt.
