Applicable laws

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this privacy policy complies with the following regulations:

Personal data must be:

  • Processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently in relation to the data subject (lawfulness, fairness, transparency);
  • Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. Further processing for archival purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research, or for statistical purposes is not considered incompatible with the initial purposes (purpose limitation);
  • Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (data minimization);
  • Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that inaccurate personal data, considering the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay (accuracy);
  • Kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed. Personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as they are processed solely for archival purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research, or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1), provided that the appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the regulation are implemented to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject (storage limitation);
  • Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality).

Processing is lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

  • The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject;
  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  • Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, particularly if the data subject is a child.
