For the purposes outlined above, we may disclose your personal data to the following recipients: Our employees, as necessary to provide our services (e.g., if you request certain services via our website); IT service providers that provide hosting, maintenance, and security services for our website; any other (legal) person based on your consent, if necessary; advertising and web analytics partners (e.g., Google LLC) that provide certain services related to our website for us. Please note: We will not share any personal data from EU visitors to our website with non-EU advertising or web analytics partners unless they have consented to the use of cookies from US partners; if disclosure is required (due to laws or regulations or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims), we may also disclose personal data to competent authorities, such as supervisory, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities, courts, or other third parties who advise us in this regard (e.g., lawyers or forensic experts); our customer relationship management tool (CRM), HubSpot Inc. Please note: We will not share any personal data from EU visitors to our website with HubSpot Inc. without their consent; our social media partners, e.g., LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. Please note: We will not share any personal data from EU visitors to our website with non-EU social media partners unless they have consented to the use of cookies from US partners. Some of these recipients may be located in countries outside the EU or the EEA to which the EU Commission has not yet attested an adequate level of data protection. It should be noted that the level of data protection in these countries may not be the same as within the EU or the EEA. Moreover, it is possible that these data may be subject to access by local authorities or courts under applicable regulations. If we transfer personal data to such third countries, we will obtain your informed and explicit consent in advance (Art 49 Para 1 lit a GDPR) or implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your rights are protected in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. This includes the conclusion of the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data published by the EU Commission (Art 46 Para 2 lit c GDPR).

Log files (see Section 2.5 above) are generally retained for a period of three months. Beyond this period, log files will only be retained for the purpose of investigating irregularities or security incidents in our systems. For the storage period of cookies, see Section 2.6 above. In general, we only store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. In any case, we will store your data for the duration of our contractual or service relationship with you (see Section 2.4 above). Beyond this period, we will retain your personal data to fulfill legal retention obligations (e.g., to comply with the 7-year retention obligation under applicable tax and corporate law provisions). If necessary, we may also retain your data for as long as potential legal claims against us have not yet expired; for certain claims, the statutory limitation period can be up to 30 years. Once there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of personal data, they will either be deleted or anonymized.
