If we disclose data to other persons and/or companies, e.g., order processors or third parties, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if a transfer of data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract), you have consented pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, a legal obligation provides for this pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR or on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
