  • Contract Performance: When processing is necessary to fulfill our service obligations to you
  • Legitimate Interests: When we have legitimate business interests that do not override your rights and freedoms
  • Legal Obligations: When we must process data to comply with legal requirements

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
