22. Information on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

On July 10, 2023, the European Commission adopted the adequacy decision regarding the so-called EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF). The EU-U.S. DPF provides a relatively simple way to transfer personal data to the United States, but only to U.S. companies listed on the official EU-U.S. DPF list with a certification marked as “active.” The list is maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Active certification indicates that the U.S. company in question has committed to complying with certain data protection principles, which are detailed in the EU-U.S. DPF. Data subjects whose data has been transferred from the EU also have certain legal remedies available to them under data protection law in this context.
The Adequacy Decision regarding the EU-U.S. DPF legally confirms that the U.S. companies included on the official EU-U.S. DPF list maintain an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU.
It follows that certain personal data may be transferred to the U.S. in a legally compliant manner.

23. External Links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites.
When you click on an external link, you will leave our website.
The respective operators of the linked websites are solely responsible for their content and data processing.

24. Locally Hosted Google Fonts

To ensure consistent font display, we use Google Fonts on our website.
The fonts are stored entirely locally on our own web server.
Therefore, when you visit our website, no connection is made to Google’s servers to load the fonts.
