What types of personal data do we process?

Information necessary for the operation

We process information that is necessary and relevant to the conduct of our business.

The legal basis for the processing is legitimate interest based on customer or other relationship, service provider, or invoicing. In addition, the legal basis is the preparation and performance of the contract or other cooperation and the fulfillment of legal obligations (such as accounting and taxation).
