3. Purposes and Legal Bases
Personal data are processed for the following purposes and on the following legal bases: responding to contact requests and requests for information about services — pre-contractual steps taken at the data subject’s request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and DPC’s legitimate interest in responding to communications received (point (f)); assessment of expressions of interest from professionals — pre-contractual steps (point (b)); website security and abuse prevention — legitimate interest (point (f)); compliance with legal obligations (point (c)).
4. Recipients of the Data
Data submitted through the contact form are processed, on behalf of and under the instructions of DPC, by technical service providers that ensure the operation of DPC’s website and email (email sending and hosting services and web hosting services), acting as processors, with processing within the European Union. DPC does not sell or transfer personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Data will only be disclosed to public authorities where required by law. Additional information about the service providers used may be requested at any time via geral@diffperspective.net.
