For the comprehensibility of the specific data processing purposes Data controller provides information in this policy about the purpose, duration and legal ground of the processing of the specific personal data. Data controller implements these rules mandatorily. Personal data collected and processed according to this Policy may only be used for Data controller’s lawful purpose other than the original purpose if the original purpose and the secondary purpose are closely connected and if it is allowed by the GDPR or the other governing legislation.
