This applies particularly to payment and other financial data and contract data that will be accessible only to a very limited number of recipients who have a need to know the data for the fulfilment of their tasks, subject to any disclousre obligations.
Such recipients are:

Where there is no statutory legal basis for public disclosure including the identity of the recipient, you may choose to withhold your consent to such disclosure, and we would then disclose the payments and benefits on an anonymous aggregated basis;

We may send your personal data in parts or as a whole to Fresenius Group recipients in countries, which are not member states of the European Union or to international organisations, for the purposes listed above. Please refer to the overview of the locations in which Fresenius Kabi Group companies is active.
