As a rule, the processing of your data takes place after receiving your consent. An exception applies in such cases where prior obtainment of consent is not possible due to valid reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations, such as for the fulfillment of a contractual or legal obligation.

• For the fulfillment of a legal obligation that our company is subject to;
• If processing is required for either your vital interests or those of another natural person;
• For the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh our interests.
