SECTION III.
LAWFULNESS OF PROCESSING

1. Data processing based on the data subject’s consent 

1.1. Where the Company intends to carry out data processing based on consent, the data subject’s consent to the processing of his or her personal data shall be obtained by means of the data request form and information as set out in the Data Processing Policy. 

1.2. Consent shall also be deemed to be given if the data subject ticks a box when viewing the Company’s website, makes the relevant technical settings when using information society services, or makes any other statement or takes any other action which clearly indicates the data subject’s consent to the intended processing of his or her personal data in the relevant context. Silence, ticking a box or inaction therefore does not constitute consent.  The continuation of a telephone call after having been duly informed shall constitute consent.

1.3. Consent covers all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes. Where processing is carried out for more than one purpose, consent shall be given for all the purposes for which the processing is carried out. 

1.4. Where the data subject gives his or her consent in the context of a written statement which also relates to other matters, such as the conclusion of a sales or service contract, the request for consent must be presented in a manner clearly distinguishable from those other matters, in a clear and easily accessible form, in clear and plain language. Any part of such a statement containing the consent of the data subject which is in breach of the Regulation shall not be binding.

1.5. The Company shall not make the conclusion or performance of a contract conditional on the giving of consent to the processing of personal data which are not necessary for the performance of the contract.

1.6. The data subject may withdraw his/her consent at any time by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated in Chapter I.

1.7. If the data subject withdraws his/her consent, the controller may no longer process his/her data. Where consent is withdrawn, the controller must ensure that the data are erased, unless another legal basis allows for the processing of those data (e.g. storage requirements or the need to perform a contract). Where processing has been carried out for more than one purpose, the controller may not use the personal data for the purpose for which the data subject has withdrawn consent.

2. Data processing based on performing legal obligations 

2.1. In the case of data processing based on performing legal obligations, the scope of the data that can be processed, the purpose of the data processing, the duration of data storage and the recipients are governed by the provisions of the underlying legislation.

2.2. The processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation is based on the regulation, regardless of the consent of the data subject.

In this case, prior to the processing of the data, the data subject shall be informed that the data processing is obligatory and shall be clearly and in detail informed of all facts concerning the processing, in particular the purpose and legal basis of the data processing, the person authorized to handle and process the data, the duration of the data processing, whether the personal data of the data subject are processed by the Data Controller on the basis of the legal obligation applicable to him or her, and who can get access to the data. The information shall include the rights and remedies available to the data subject. In the case of mandatory data processing, the information may also take place with the publication of a reference to the legislative provisions which contain the foregoing information.

3. Data processing based on legitimate interests

3.1. The legitimate interests of the Company or a third party may provide a legal basis for the processing, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. The reasonable expectations of the data subject based on his or her relationship with the controller should be taken into account, so that the processing of personal data for contact purposes, even for direct marketing purposes, may be considered to be based on legitimate interests.

3.2. The processing based on legitimate interests requires a balancing of interests test, in which the Company will always take into account the current circumstances and the situation of the controller and the data subjects. In the case of processing in the interest of the Company, the balancing of interests tests carried out separately have led to the following result: in the balancing of interests test, the Company has concluded, taking into account the conditions described for the processing in question, that the processing is justified subject to the appropriate safeguards, as set out in this Policy, without which the Company would not be able to operate competitively. In this light, the emotional impact on data subjects and the harm to their right to privacy can be considered proportionate. 

4. Data processing for the protection of the vital interests of the data subject or other natural person

4.1. The protection of the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person may also provide a legal basis for processing, given that the right to data protection is fundamental but not exclusive, and that the right to the protection of personal data is naturally overridden by the right to life in a life and death context.

5. Data processing based on contractual interests

5.1. Data processing may also be based on a contractual interest if it is necessary for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a party or if it is requested by the data subject in order to prepare the contract.

6. Promoting the rights of the data subject

6.1. The Company is obliged to ensure the exercise of the rights of the data subject during all data processing.
