The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6(1)(f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Under no circumstances do we use the data we have collected for the purpose of identifying you in person.

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for any purposes other than those listed below.
We only transmit your personal data to third parties if
you have given us your explicit consent for this in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, transmission is necessary in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and no grounds exist for assuming that you have an overriding interest which requires protection in your personal data not being transmitted, in the event that a legal obligation exists in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) for the transmission of your personal data and this is legally permissible and necessary in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) for the performance of a contract with you.

under Art. 16 GDPR to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you or to have incomplete personal data completed;
under Art. 17 GDPR to obtain the erasure of personal data concerning you unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
under Art. 18 GDPR to obtain the restriction of processing of personal data concerning you if you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of your personal data and if we no longer need your personal data but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or if you have objected to the processing under Art. 21 GDPR;
