9 Data security

We make maximum efforts to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities. Your personal data is transmitted encrypted with us. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. To protect your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO, which we constantly adapt to the state of the art.

We also do not guarantee that our offer will be available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be ruled out. The servers we use are carefully backed up on a regular basis.

10 Disclosure of data to third parties, no data transfer to non-EU countries

In principle, we only use your personal data within our company. If and insofar as we involve third parties within the framework of the fulfillment of contracts (such as customers for whom we conduct an influencer campaign), they receive personal data only to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service. The transfer of data to customers takes place in a commercial context for the planning and implementation of influencer marketing campaigns.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("commissioned processing"), we contractually oblige commissioned processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.

A data transfer to entities or persons outside the EU outside the case mentioned in this declaration in clause 4 does not take place and is not planned, with the exception of the transfer of data to customers of CrowdArchitects GmbH located in other EU countries for the purpose of conducting influencer marketing campaigns.
