If we request the consent of the affected person for processing personal data, Art. 6 section 1 (a) of the EU data protection regulation (GDPR) serves as a legal foundation.

If processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected person do not override the aforementioned interest, Art. 6 section 1 (f) GDPR serves as a legal foundation for processing.

Beyond this point, storage is permissible, if European or national lawmakers have provided for this possibility in EU regulations, laws or other directives to which the responsible party is subject.
