2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) lit. b of the DPA serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
