Article 6(1) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) of the GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of your personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of your personal data may be necessary to protect your vital interests or of another natural person, e.g., if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Such processing would be based on Article 6(1) of the GDPR.

16. EXISTENCE OF AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING:

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
