We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance for the management of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant. The use of the Internet pages of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data—such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject—shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller responsible for processing, Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The privacy policy of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant is based on the terminology used by the European legislator in the GDPR.

The Internet pages of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. With the help of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised with the user in mind. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilise our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a shopping cart cookie in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Each time the website of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant is accessed by a data subject or by an automated system, the website collects a series of general data and information. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The data collected may include:
the browser types and versions used,
the operating system used by the accessing system,
the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
the date and time of access to the website,
an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to:
deliver the content of our website correctly,
optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
Therefore, the anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The website of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is granted by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to obtain from the controller
confirmation as to whether or not personal data
concerning them are being processed. If a data subject
wishes to avail themselves of this right of
confirmation, they may, at any time, contact any
employee of the controller.
b) Right of access
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to obtain from the controller free
information about their personal data stored at any
time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the
European legislator has granted the data subject access
to the following information:
the purposes of the processing,
the categories of personal data concerned,
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations,
where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period,
the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing, or to object to such processing,
the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,
where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source,
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
The data subject also has the right to know whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of this right of access, they may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to obtain from the controller the
rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning
them without undue delay. Taking into account the
purposes of the processing, the data subject has the
right to have incomplete personal data completed,
including by means of providing a supplementary
statement.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be
forgotten)
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to obtain from the controller the
erasure of personal data concerning them without undue
delay where one of the following grounds applies, as
long as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

Where Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, our company, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. An employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of
processing
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to obtain from the controller
restriction of processing where one of the following
applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of processing of personal data stored by Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to receive the personal data
concerning them, which they have provided to a
controller, in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format. They also have the right to
transmit those data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal
data have been provided, as long as the processing is
based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art.
9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b)
GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated
means, provided that the processing is not necessary
for the performance of a task carried out in the public
interest or in the exercise of official authority.
In exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject also has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may, at any time, contact any employee of Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant.
g) Right to object
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to
their particular situation, at any time, to processing
of personal data concerning them which is based on Art.
6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling
based on those provisions.
Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
h) Automated individual decision-making,
including profiling
Every data subject has the right, granted by the
European legislator, not to be subject to a decision
based solely on automated processing, including
profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them
or similarly significantly affects them, as long as the
decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data subject and
the controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or
Member State law to which the controller is subject and
which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the
data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate
interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s
explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Marion Eckert Brühler Hof – Hotel & Restaurant shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social interaction on the Internet, an online community which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside of the USA or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all the Facebook plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with each visit to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpage of our website was visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook at the time of the call-up. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then they may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymiser function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which subpages were visited, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimise a website and to carry out a cost–benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat._anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged and anonymised by Google when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our website for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, the Internet browser on the system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The personal data, such as access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website, are stored. With each visit to our Internet site, such data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is deinstalled or deactivated by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of competence, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/. Google Analytics is further explained under the following link: https://www.google.com/analytics/.
The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a social network. A social network is a place for social interaction on the Internet, an online community which usually allows users to communicate and interact in a virtual space. It may serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ allows users to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser of the information technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button through Google. During this technical procedure, Google is made aware of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. Further information about Google+ may be retrieved under https://developers.google.com/+/ .
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognises with each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpages of our website were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and associated with the respective Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject clicks the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website, together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used and the photo stored, will be stored and processed in other Google services, such as search engine results, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on websites or in advertisements. Google may also link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimising the various Google services.
Google receives information via the Google+ button whenever the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time as visiting our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not. If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, they may prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before visiting our website.
Further information and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. Additional information from Google about the Google+ button may be obtained at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy
The controller has integrated components of the service Instagram on this website. Instagram is a service that may be qualified as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share photos and videos, as well as to disseminate such data in other social networks.
The operating company of the services offered by Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14, First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding component of Instagram. During this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Instagram, Instagram detects with each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website—which specific subpages of our website were visited. This information is collected through the Instagram component and is associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time to Instagram during the call-up to our website, regardless of whether they click the Instagram component or not. If such transmission of information to Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, then they may prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before visiting our website.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram may be retrieved under https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

The controller has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis tool collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject has come to a website from (the so-called referrer), which subpages were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost–benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the log files which are sensitive under data protection law are stored exclusively on this server.
The purpose of the Matomo component is the analysis of the traffic on our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of this website, to compile online reports which show the activities on our websites.
Matomo sets a cookie on the system of the data subject. With the setting of the cookie, we are enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to submit data for the purpose of online analysis to our server. During this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves us, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website. With each visit to our Internet site, such data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to our server. These personal data will be stored by us but not passed on to third parties.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.

The controller responsible for data processing has integrated components of Twitter on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service where users can publish and share short messages (called "tweets") limited to 140 characters. These messages are visible to everyone, including individuals who are not registered on Twitter. Tweets are also displayed to the user's "followers"—other Twitter users who follow the tweet author. Twitter also allows broader public engagement through the use of hashtags, mentions, and retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Each time a page of this website that contains a Twitter component (such as a Twitter button) is accessed, the web browser of the data subject automatically downloads the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information about Twitter buttons is available at: https://about.twitter.com/en/resources/buttons.
As part of this process, Twitter is informed about which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. The integration of Twitter components is intended to allow users to share our website’s content, increase our online visibility, and boost our visitor traffic.
If the data subject is logged into Twitter at the same time, Twitter can detect which specific page of our website is being visited for the duration of the session. This information is collected by the Twitter component and linked to the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the user interacts with one of the Twitter buttons on our website, the related data is also assigned to their personal Twitter account and stored and processed by Twitter.
Twitter receives this information regardless of whether the Twitter component is clicked, provided the user is logged in to Twitter at the time of visiting our website. If the data subject does not wish this information to be transmitted to Twitter, they can prevent it by logging out of their Twitter account before accessing our website.

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—such as processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of services—then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, inquiries regarding our products or services.
Where our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as compliance with tax obligations—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This could be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such a case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit and well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or for the initiation of a new contract.
We inform you that the provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual obligations (e.g., details of a contractual partner).
In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us in order to enter into a contract. For example, a data subject is obliged to provide personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide such data would mean that a contract with the data subject cannot be concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject must consult one of our employees. The employee will clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, or necessary for concluding a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences may result from not providing the data.
As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
