The service providers commissioned by Fink & Walter process your data exclusively in accordance with our instructions. Fink & Walter remains responsible for the protection of your data, which is ensured by strict contractual regulations, technical and organisational measures and additional controls by us.

Personal data may also be disclosed to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so e.g., by court order (legal basis for processing: Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) or if this is necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or other legal investigations or proceedings at home or abroad or to fulfil Fink & Walter' legitimate interests (legal basis for processing: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Our main operations are based in Germany and your personal data is generally processed, stored and used in Germany. In some instances, your personal data may be processed outside Germany. If and when this is the case, we take steps to ensure there is an appropriate level of security, so your personal data is protected in the same way as if it was being used within Germany.

Where we need to transfer your data outside Germany, we will use one of the following safeguards:

• The use of approved standard contractual clauses in contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
• Transfers to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as Germany.
