3. Explanations on the legal basis and the storage period

a) Legal bases for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

When processing personal data required to fulfil a contract with you or your company, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR is the corresponding legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are already relevant pre-contractually.

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that your vital interests or those of another natural person are affected, which make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis for this processing.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh our legitimate interest, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

b) Storage period and deletion of data

The personal data collected, processed and stored by us will only be stored by us for as long as the specific purpose of the storage requires. If the purpose of storage ceases to apply, your data will be deleted or its processing restricted.

In addition, however, European regulations, applicable national laws or other provisions may require us to store the data we process for longer. If these storage periods expire, we will delete your data or restrict its processing.

4. Your rights

If we process your personal data, you are a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR. As a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis MINIMAX:

a) Right to information regarding the processing

You can request information from us at any time within the framework of the statutory provisions as to whether personal data is processed by us. If this is the case, you have the right to request information about the scope of the data processing.

b) Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion of your data vis-à-vis MINIMAX if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete.

c) Right to restriction of processing

If the requirements for this are met, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

d) Right to erasure

You can demand from MINIMAX that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately, provided that the conditions for this are met. The right to erasure does not apply if the processing is necessary.

e) Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against MINIMAX, MINIMAX is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

f) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to MINIMAX, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another company without hindrance from MINIMAX to which the personal data has been provided, where the conditions for this are met.

g) Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The consequence of the objection is that MINIMAX will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless MINIMAX can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In the event that we engage in marketing activities towards you, we will obtain your consent to this in advance. If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing. You can inform us of your objection using the following contact details:

Minimax Viking GmbH
Industriestasse. 10-12
23843 Bad Oldesloe, Germany
E-Mail: Dataprivacy@mx-vk.com

 h) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

5. Visitors to our website and creation of log files

Every time you visit our MINIMAX website, our system automatically collects data and information from your computer system. The following data is collected:

  • Information about your browser type
  • Information about your operating system
  • Information about your Internet service provider
  • Your IP address
  • Date and time of your visit to our site
  • Information about the website from which your system accesses our website
  • Information about the website that is accessed by your system via our website.

The data we collect about you is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data. An exception to this is the information we collect about your browser settings. In connection with the geo-information collected by the analysis tools we use, we use this data to show you the appropriate country page (e.g. France minimax.com/fr/fr).

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in collecting and temporarily storing the aforementioned data, as the temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to your computer. As long as you are surfing our website, your IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. 

Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. This data is also used to optimise our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Your log files are not analysed for marketing purposes.

The data is deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose stated here. If the data is stored in log files, the data is deleted after 7 days.

6. Contact form

a) Processing by Minimax

There is a contact form on our website which you can use to contact us electronically. If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. This involves the following data in particular:

  • Your full name
  • Your company and your company's industry
  • Your address or that of your company
  • Your e-mail address
  • Optionally your telephone number and fax number
  • Optional files uploaded by you, including personal data.
  • The date and time you contact us will also be saved.

The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a, b or f GDPR. The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process your request. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory archiving obligations. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

You have the option at any time to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data or to object to MINIMAX's further use of your data. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of making contact will be deleted in this case, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary and no other statutory authorisation for data processing exists.

Your IP address is also stored at the time the message is sent. This other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of 7 days at the latest. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b or f GDPR.

b) Transmission to affiliated companies

The data you enter in the form may be forwarded to companies affiliated with MINIMAX if the content of your enquiry relates thematically and regionally to the affiliated company in question. However, MINIMAX remains your first point of contact even in this case and you can continue to assert your rights against MINIMAX.

MINIMAX may also transfer the data to countries outside the European Economic Area. However, the companies affiliated with MINIMAX will take the necessary steps to ensure that an adequate level of data protection is maintained. For example, if MINIMAX transfers your data to the United States, additional measures, such as concluding EU-compliant data transfer agreements with the data importer, will be taken where necessary.

By submitting the contact form, you declare your consent to the forwarding of the data you have entered in the contact form to companies affiliated with MINIMAX, provided that the content of your enquiry relates thematically and regionally to the affiliated company in question. You can find further information on the affiliated companies here. You can withdraw your consent to MINIMAX at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7. Newsletter ("Job Alert")

On our website you have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter (currently: "Job Alert" newsletter). If you agree, we will use the newsletter to inform you about the current job vacancies you have requested. The data you entered in the input mask when registering for the newsletter will be transmitted to us. This is:

  • Your e-mail address

We need your e-mail address to send you the newsletter and to identify and check your consent. Any additional information you provide is voluntary.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted after one month. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address and the other details for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We will delete your data as soon as you have cancelled your subscription to the newsletter or it is cancelled by us. You can cancel the newsletter subscription at any time by revoking your consent with effect for the future. Each newsletter sent to you contains a link that allows you to easily unsubscribe. However, you also have the option of sending an email to jobs@minimax.de or a message to the controller named above in this privacy policy.

8. Use of cookies and other technologies

a) Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. We receive various information when cookies are set.

In addition to cookies, some services use so-called "local storage entries". A local storage entry is functionally comparable to cookies, the difference being that local storage stores information in your browser's cache. Where services on our website use local storage, we expressly point this out in this privacy policy.

In addition, some services also use so-called "tracking pixels".

Necessary cookies

Certain cookies are technically necessary for the proper operation of our website and the proper display of content in order to be able to show you our website at all. These "necessary cookies" cannot be deselected because our website cannot be offered without them.

Cookies and similar technologies for statistics and external content

We use cookies to statistically record the use of our website. You do not have to select these cookies.

Cookies and similar technologies from external services are used to extend and optimise the functionality of our website and to make it more convenient for you to use. You do not have to accept the cookies and similar technologies used for this purpose, but you will not be able to use the extended functions. You can also make cookie settings in your browser. However, this may limit the functionality of our website. The same applies to local storage entries, which you can delete from your browser cache.

b) Objection / withdrawal of consent

Cookies are stored on your computer. You can decide at any time whether to delete the cookies from your computer. Through the settings in your browser, you can decide for yourself whether the transmission of cookies from your computer to us should be deactivated, restricted or the cookies deleted altogether. If you deactivate all cookies for our website, you may no longer be able to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

You also have the option of adjusting your cookie settings directly on our website: If you have given your consent to cookies and other technologies, you can withdraw this at any time on our consent management platform by removing the corresponding tick and clicking on the "Accept selection" button. The same applies if we use cookies and other technologies on the basis of legitimate interests and you wish to object to their use: Consent management platform

c) MATOMO (web tracking)

On this website, data is collected and stored with your consent using the web analysis service software Matomo (www.matomo.org), a service of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 7 Waterloo Quay PO625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand, ("Matomo") for the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Pseudonymised user profiles can be created and evaluated from this data for the same purpose. Cookies are used for this purpose. Among other things, cookies make it possible to recognise the Internet browser. With regard to our career website (karriere.minimax.de), the data collected using Matomo technology (including your pseudonymised IP address) is processed locally on servers of noris network AG, Thomas-Mann-Straße 16-20, 90471 Nuremberg for our system provider REXX systems GmbH, Süderstr. 75-79, 20097 Hamburg.

The information generated by the cookie in the pseudonymised user profile is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website and is not merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future by unchecking the "Statistics" box in our cookie banner and then clicking on "Accept selection".

 

d) Use of Google reCAPTCHA

MINIMAX uses the reCAPTCHA service of Google Ireland Ltd ("Google") to protect your contact enquiries via the contact form. Google can be reached at Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and may be used there. However, due to the IP anonymisation used by MINIMAX on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. So-called standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR have been concluded as suitable guarantees. Further information can be found here: International dimension of data protection - European Commission (europa.eu).

On behalf of MINIMAX, Google will only use this information to analyse your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.

The use of reCAPTCHA is justified in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if you have given us your consent in advance. You can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future in the manner described above. We use reCAPTCHA to prevent the misuse of our website. We will only process your data for as long as is necessary for the purpose of data collection (in this case, to prevent misuse of our website).

Further information on Google's privacy policy can be found at:  http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

 

e) Use of Google Maps

Google Maps API, a map service operated by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), is used on some of the individual pages of our website. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and offer you convenient use of the map function.

By visiting the respective page of our website on which the map services are offered, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage. In addition, the following data in particular is transmitted to Google:

  • Your IP address;
  • Date and time of the enquiry;
  • Content of the request (specific page);
  • Data about your location;
  • Website from which the request comes;
  • Your browser type;
  • Your operating system and its interface;
  • The language setting and version of the browser software.

This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the Google network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google directly to exercise this right.

For this processing, our cooperation with Google is based on an agreement on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. The agreement can be found at the following link https://privacy.google.com/intl/de/businesses/mapscontrollerterms/ 

You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service in a simple manner and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google: To do this, deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that you will not be able to use the map display in this case.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA and relies on the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, further information on this can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en.

We use Google Maps API to offer you a map function. Justification is provided in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if you have given us your consent in advance. You can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. In this case, you will no longer be able to use the Google Maps service.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

f) YouTube

Plugins from www.youtube.com, which is operated by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), are integrated on our website.

We use embedded YouTube videos in extended data protection mode. YouTube describes its mode of operation as follows: "With the extended data protection mode, you can embed YouTube videos without cookies being set to analyse user behaviour. This means that no data on user activity is collected in order to personalise video playback. Instead, video recommendations are based on the current video. Videos that are played in enhanced privacy mode do not affect which videos are recommended to a user on YouTube". Cookies are therefore only set by YouTube when you actively activate the playback of an embedded video. Further information on this can be found at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en.

When you access pages of our website that are equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the plugin is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. This tells the YouTube server which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user accounts on these platforms. When using these plugins, such as clicking/starting a video or sending a comment, this information is assigned to your YouTube user account, for example, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA and relies on the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, further information on this can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent as described above at any time with effect for the future.

Further information on the collection and use of data by the platform or plugins can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

 

g) Google Tag Manager

We use the "Google Tag Manager" tool on our website, which is operated by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Tag Manager is a solution that can be used to control the integration and analysis of third-party services. The tool itself does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager does not access the stored data of the third-party services and does not store any user data itself (see https://support.google.com/tagmanager/?hl=en#topic=13562736 ). Furthermore, the service works completely without cookies. Only non-personal data is processed that does not directly or indirectly identify natural persons.

h) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

The following types of data may be collected by the service: App updates, browser information, click path, date and time of visit, device information, downloads, Flash version, location information, JavaScript support, pages visited, purchase activity, referrer URL, usage data, widget interactions, IP address.

This service enables us to analyse the use of our website and uses cookies for this purpose. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie, such as your anonymised IP address, is transmitted on our behalf to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored and analysed. This is because Google Analytics has been extended on this website by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();". This ensures anonymised collection of IP addresses. The anonymisation of your IP address is usually carried out by Google Inc. within the European Union or in other contracting states of the European Economic Area (EEA) by shortening your IP address. In exceptional cases, your IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and anonymised there. Your IP address transmitted in this way will not be merged with other Google data.

Data may be transferred to the USA, which is secured by the agreement of standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.

When configuring Google Analytics, care was taken to ensure that Google receives this data as a processor. Google also uses the data for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its own services. In doing so, Google may link the data with other user data (such as search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices and all other data that Google has about this user).

The data collected in Google Analytics is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent to the use of Google Analytics at any time with effect for the future, as described above under point 8. b).

You can find more information on Google's terms of use and data protection at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

This enables us to track whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advert and have taken certain actions there, such as making purchases (so-called "conversion").

Recipient:

Due to the Facebook pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server as soon as you have given your consent. The Facebook pixel can store a cookie and pixel tags on your device. By integrating the Facebook pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible for Facebook to find out and store your IP address and other identifying features.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent to the use of the Facebook pixel at any time with effect for the future, as described above under point 8. B).

Shared responsibility:

We and Facebook are jointly responsible for this data processing within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. In this context, we have concluded a joint controllership agreement with Facebook, the terms of which can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.The purpose of this agreement is to determine the respective responsibilities for the fulfilment of obligations under the GDPR with regard to joint processing. We have agreed with Facebook that Facebook can be used as a point of contact for exercising the rights of data subjects with regard to joint responsibility. Irrespective of this, the responsibility for the rights of data subjects is not restricted.

l) Google Ads Remarketing

We use Google Ads. This is an advertising service. Google Ads can be used to advertise products and services, e.g. in Google search, on YouTube or on other websites.

We use the remarketing function within Google Ads. Remarketing allows us to show users of our website adverts on other websites within the Google Display Network (e.g. in Google Search or on YouTube) based on their interests. For this purpose, user interactions are analysed, e.g. with regard to the products and services in which a user is interested. This enables us to show the user targeted adverts on other websites even after they have visited our website.

Data is transmitted to Google regardless of whether you have a Google user account. If you have a Google user account, the data from Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to your Google user account. Google Ads Remarketing also enables cross-device tracking.

The processing of personal data by Google is subject to the data protection provisions for Google Ads Controller concluded with Google (available at: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/ ). Google uses the data for its own purposes, such as the further development of Google Ads and to carry out the advertising measures as effectively as possible.

m) GoogleAds conversion tracking

We use the conversion tracking function within Google Ads. Conversion tracking records what happens after a click on an advert placed by us via Google Ads when users subsequently visit our website. With conversions, we measure whether users perform a specific action on our website (e.g. whether products or services are ordered) after clicking on an advert placed by us via Google Ads. This allows us to track which keywords, adverts, ad groups or campaigns lead to the desired user interaction.

Data is transmitted to Google regardless of whether you have a Google user account. If you have a Google user account, the data from Google Ads Conversion Tracking can be linked to your Google user account. This is particularly the case if the "Extended Conversions" function is used. Google Ads Conversion Tracking also enables cross-device tracking.

The processing of personal data by Google is subject to the data protection provisions for Google Ads Controller concluded with Google (available at: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/ ). Google uses the data for its own purposes, for example to improve the quality and accuracy of functions such as Smart Pricing. In addition, Google uses the data to compile statistics.

a) Principles

We will generally only pass on your personal data to service providers, business partners, affiliated companies and other third parties within the framework of the applicable data protection laws.

We may disclose personal data to service providers commissioned by us and oblige them to perform services on our behalf (order processing). Such service providers may be affiliated companies of MINIMAX or external service providers. In doing so, we observe the strict applicable national and European data protection regulations. The service providers are subject to our instructions and are subject to strict contractual restrictions with regard to the processing of personal data. Accordingly, processing is only permitted insofar as it is necessary for the performance of services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We define in advance exactly what rights and obligations our service providers should have in relation to personal data.

We may disclose personal data to a third party if we are required to do so by law or legal process, or to deliver and administer our products and services. We may also be required to provide information to a law enforcement agency or other authority. We are also authorised to disclose data if the forwarding of information is necessary for the cooperation and thus the provision of MINIMAX services to you or if you give your consent. Disclosure is also usually unavoidable if tax audits are pending.

b) Forwarding of your data to affiliated Minimax companies

Your data may also be passed on to MINIMAX Group companies for the purpose of processing your contact. A list of the relevant MINIMAX Group companies can be found under this link.

All MINIMAX Group companies are obliged by MINIMAX to comply with the data protection provisions of the GDPR and other European data protection standards (order processing).

Your data will be transmitted after you have given your consent by activating the corresponding checkbox. The legal basis for the use of the data is Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as you have given your separate consent to this.

You can withdraw your consent to MINIMAX at any time. The withdrawal of your consent will only take effect for the future.

Your data will be deleted if it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected.

c) Web hosting

Our website and therefore your data are hosted by Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (hereinafter referred to as "Amazon"). Amazon may only access the data in accordance with our instructions (order processing). Amazon also takes strict technical measures to protect your personal data. Amazon does not pass on your personal data to third parties unless the transfer is necessary for the processing of the agreed services or Amazon must do so to comply with the law or a valid and binding instruction from a government or regulatory authority. The data transmitted for this purpose will be limited to the necessary minimum.

It has been agreed with Amazon that the data will be stored on servers in the EU. However, if in exceptional cases Amazon transfers the data to countries outside the European Economic Area, Amazon will take the necessary steps to ensure that an adequate level of data protection is maintained. For example, if Amazon transfers your data to the United States, additional measures will be taken, such as concluding EU-compliant data transfer agreements with the data importer.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The purpose of the data processing is that Amazon offers us the opportunity to use Amazon servers. We only store your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose.

Further information on data protection at Amazon can be found at: https://aws.amazon.com/de/compliance/eu-data-protection/.
