Insofar as we process your personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the data processing. Furthermore, Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR can serve as the legal basis for the data processing if the processing of your personal data is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not require the protection of personal data.
