Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis.
