GDPR Basis

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data only when we have a lawful basis, such as consent, performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, compliance with legal obligations, or our legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by user rights. The specific basis depends on the type of interaction and the purpose of processing.

Regulatory context
Because the website is offered in the EU context, GDPR applies to personal data processed from users in the European Economic Area where the regulation is applicable.
This section is intended for users whose data is protected by the GDPR.
Privacy and GDPR

Your GDPR Rights

Where the GDPR applies, users may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and to request data portability in appropriate cases. Users may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations, professional duties, or the need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

GDPR rights are available subject to the conditions and limits set by law.
