Legal obligation: We process the customers’ personal data in order to fulfil our legal obligations, such as the requirements related to the storage of data in the Accounting Act, the requirements of the Rescue Act (29 April 2011/379) and other safety-related informing and communication required by law

Legitimate interest: The processing of the personal data of the partner’s contact person may be based on the legitimate interest of the Controller when the data is processed for the purpose of managing and developing the customer relationship, preventing, or investigating abuses.
