The provision of Data is necessary for the potential establishment of a contractual relationship with the Controller, as well as for the proper management and execution of the User's requests.

The provision of Data for this purpose is necessary to fulfil the legal obligations to which the Controller is subject.

3.5. Judicial protection (Legitimate interest)

The Data shall be processed specifically to allow the Controller to protect its rights and interests in and out of court if unlawful activities are carried out on and/or through the Site.

The legal basis for this processing is the Controller's legitimate interest in protecting its own rights, which does not infringe or prejudice the rights and freedoms of the Data Subjects, if the processing is balanced by the interest and reasonable expectation of the Users in exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to defence.

Providing Data for this purpose is necessary to enable the Controller to defend itself in court.
