- If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for providing our Service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. (b) GDPR. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing will be based on Art. 6(1) lit. (c) GDPR. In exceptional cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect your vital interests.
- Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator.
