The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

You can decide which personal data you give to us. If we ask you to transmit personal data to us, you can of course refuse to do so. However, we may not be able to oﬀer you certain services in this case. We have marked the mandatory information that we require for the provision of our services accordingly.

The legal basis for the disclosure of your personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a or lit. b GDPR.

In the event of a statutory obligation, we also reserve the right to disclose information about you if we are required to do so by lawfully acting authorities or criminal prosecution bodies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.
