The controller also forwards the collected personal data to its contractual processors, who may process the data exclusively within the framework of the controller’s instructions and authorisations and who are obligated – by a written agreement concluded with the controller – to ensure an appropriate level of personal data protection, specifically within its CRM, e-mail marketing and marketing automation systems.
