When data which is required in the fulfilment of a contract, the party to the contract is the person concerned is processed. Article 6 Paragraph 1 letter b of the EU Basic Data Processing Regulations (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis. This also covers the preparations required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

If processing is necessary to protect a justified interest of our business or of a third party, and if the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail over the first-named interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 letter f of the EU Basic Data Processing Regulations (DSGVO) shall consequently serve as the legal basis for processing the data.
