For what purposes do we process data?

Legal grounds
Your personal data is processed on the legal grounds of being directly related to the conclusion or performance of a contract, the fulfilment of our legal obligations, our legitimate interests (provided this does not infringe upon your fundamental rights and freedoms), and, where necessary, your explicit consent (Articles 5 and 6 of the Personal Data Protection Act).
To whom can it be transferred?
Your personal data may be shared with suppliers from whom we receive services—such as the server hosting the website, email and messaging services—only to the extent required by the service and subject to the necessary security measures; it may also be transferred to authorised public bodies and organisations upon their request, in accordance with the relevant legislation. If you contact us via services such as WhatsApp, which have servers located abroad, your data may also be processed by the provider of that service; it is your choice whether or not to use this channel.

We retain your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose of processing and for the retention periods set out in the relevant legislation; once these periods have expired, your data will be deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
