In these cases, Diak ensures that there is a legal basis for the transfer of data and that personal data is protected, for example by requiring standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and compliance with appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

In all cases, the data transfer is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and only to the extent strictly necessary.
