In order to meet the above purposes, we may grant access to your personal data to third parties which, based on a contractual relationship with KOMPAN, provide relevant services, e.g. IT suppliers, email service providers and suppliers of marketing services. Such service providers will only process personal data in accordance with our instructions under concluded data processing agreements.

KOMPAN may disclose your personal data to third-party suppliers such as carriers in order to handle requests/orders for products, catalogues, etc. made by you (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

In certain circumstances and according to the applicable legislation, it may be necessary to disclose data to the authorities (Article 6(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation).

In connection with KOMPAN’s development, the corporate structure may change, e.g. through a total or partial sale of KOMPAN. In case of a partial transfer of assets containing personal data, the legal basis for processing in connection with the disclosure of personal data is generally Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation, as KOMPAN has a legitimate interest in transferring parts of its assets and in making commercial changes. In addition, your personal data may be disclosed to third-party service providers (data processors) that assist KOMPAN. In such cases, the service providers are only entitled to process the personal data on KOMPAN’s behalf and in accordance with KOMPAN’s instructions.

If your personal data are transferred to data processors or data controllers established in countries outside the EU/EEA that do not have an adequate level of protection, such a transfer will generally be based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
