Your data is primarily processed within the European Union. Some providers, such as messaging services, or stays you book outside the European Economic Area may involve a transfer outside the EEA. Such transfers rely on an adequacy decision of the European Commission (including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for certified companies), on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, or, for a stay you book abroad, on the necessity of the transfer for the performance of your contract (Art. 49 GDPR).
