An exception applies to cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for reasons of fact, and the processing of data is permitted by statutory provisions.

To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing transactions of personal data, point (a) of Art. 6(1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation serves as the legal basis.
Upon the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, point (b) of Art. 6(1) serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing transactions that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
To the extent that any processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, point (c) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR serves as a legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, point (d) of Art. 6(1) o f the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
