The Policy must also be observed in the absence of corresponding national legislation.
III. Principles for Processing

IV. Data processing
Processing personal data is permitted only under the following legal bases. One of these legal bases is also required if the purpose of processing personal data is to be changed from the original purpose.
- Processing connected to contractual relationships:
Personal data of the clients can be processed to establish, execute or terminate a contract. - Data processing for advertising purposes:
Personal data can be processed for advertising purposes or market and opinion research, provided that this is consistent with the purpose for which the data was originally collected. Providing data for this purpose is voluntary and data subjects have an absolute right to object to such processing. - Consent to data processing
Data processing pursuant to legal authorisation
- Data processing pursuant to legitimate interests
Before data is processed on this basis, it is necessary to determine whether there are any data subject interests that merit protection and whether these override CHLOROS' legitimate interests.

Sensitive personal data can be processed only if the law authorises it or the data subject has given explicit consent. - User data and internet
Data subjects are informed of all personal data collected, processed and used on websites or in software or where user profiles (tracking) are created. Such may only be effected if permitted by law or with data subject consent.
