The collection, processing and use of personal data is permitted on the basis of the following necessary legal grounds, also if the purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data must be changed from the original purpose.
The above use of your information is permitted under EU data protection law based on the following main legal considerations:
- where you have given your consent (you have been presented with a form in relation to any such use) and which you can withdraw at any time with effect in the future;
- if they are necessary for us to conclude or perform the contract with you;
- if they are necessary to comply with our legal obligations;
- if we use them to achieve a legitimate interest and the reasons for using them outweigh any prejudice to your data protection rights (our legitimate interests include the research and development of automotive-related products and services);
- if they are necessary for us to defend, prosecute or assert a claim against you or a third party.
There may be uses that are also permitted on other grounds; where applicable, we will identify and communicate them as soon as we become aware of them.
