Furthermore, Aura Light can disclose your data to other companies, such as IT and communications service providers, auditors, data management partners and other third parties, if this is necessary for the partnership and therefore for the provision of Aura Light’s services.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU, Aura Light is required to obtain your permission in cases where it is necessary to pass on your personal data.
