5. Legal Basis for Processing
Each processing of personal data is based on a valid legal basis provided for by the GDPR. In most cases, we rely on your consent, the necessity to perform a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interest.
Our legitimate interest may in particular consist of improving our services, securing our systems, and analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our activities.

In the course of our activities, personal data may be disclosed to carefully selected third parties, such as IT service providers, hosting services or marketing partners. These third parties process data solely on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions.

In certain cases, we may be required to disclose data to public authorities, in particular pursuant to legal obligations.
