- Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e.g., issuing a VAT invoice).
- Article 6(1)(a) GDPR – the data subject’s consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specified purposes (e.g., sending a newsletter).
- Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – the controller’s or a third party’s legitimate interest (e.g., direct marketing of own products).

- The Operator uses remarketing techniques to tailor ads to user behavior on the site, which may give the impression that personal data is used to track users; however, no personal data is actually transferred by the Operator to ad operators. The technological requirement for such actions is enabled cookie support.
- The Operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology informs Facebook (Facebook Inc., USA) that a person registered there visited the Service. It relies on data over which Facebook is the controller; the Operator does not share any additional personal data. The service relies on cookies in the user’s end device.
