4. Contract and pre-contractual relations

We process personal data since pre-contractual and contractual relationships. This means that we need to process the data to enter and perform a business contract with you.

Consent

The Controller can also process personal data based on a consent; such being the case, the purpose of personal data processing is stated directly in the request for such consent. If personal data is provided on the grounds of consent, the data subject has the right to withdraw their consent at any time.

For example, we may have certain legal and regulatory obligations which mean that we may not be able to comply with your request.

However, the right to portability only applies to personal data that we have obtained from you based on consent or on the basis of a contract to which you are a party.
