Are you required to provide us with personal data?
Data protection legislation prescribes that personal data must be processed lawfully and fairly in relation to the data subject.
The lawfulness of the processing implies the existence of a legal basis. In principle, personal data may only be processed if:
- The data subject gives his or her consent. The organisation will at least have to inform the data subject in advance of the purpose for which the data are requested, what data will be collected for processing, the right to withdraw consent, the possible consequences for the data subject in the context of automated individual decision-making and profiling, and the transfer of data to third countries.
- The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the person involved is party or in order to take pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject.
