Additionally, our company collects and processes your data when there is a legal basis that requires the collection of specific data in order for the service to be provided (e.g., for the invoicing of the service), as well as more generally based on the company’s legitimate interest.

However, this rule cannot be strictly applied in two cases within the context of the Website’s operation:
