Legal basis of processing
The
Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following
applies:
- Users have given their consent for one or more
specific purposes. Note: Under some legislations the Owner may be allowed to
process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”),
without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases.
This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Data is
subject to European data protection law; - provision of Data is necessary for the performance of
an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; - processing is necessary for compliance with a legal
obligation to which the Owner is subject; - processing is related to a task that is carried out in
the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the
Owner; - processing is necessary for the purposes of the
legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.
In any
case, the Owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that
applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal
Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to
enter into a contract.
Place
The
Data is processed at the Owner’s operating offices and in any other places
where the parties involved in the processing are located.
Depending on the User’s location, data transfers may involve transferring the
User’s Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place
of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing
details about the processing of Personal Data.
If
broader protection standards are applicable, Users are also entitled to learn
about the legal basis of Data transfers to a country outside the European Union
or to any international organization governed by public international law or
set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security
measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Data.
If any such transfer takes place, Users can find out more by checking the
relevant sections of this document or inquire with the Owner using the
information provided in the contact section.
Retention time

such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate
interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or

User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not
withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a
longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal
obligation or upon order of an authority.
