If you do not provide us with certain data, such as your identification data or financial data, which we need in the context of the agreement, we will not be able to execute the agreement and/or provide our services.
Prospect management:
We may process data about you as a potential customer or prospect, for the purpose of prospecting, canvassing, in the context of appointments or discussions, contacts, acquisition of customers, referrals, etc., or in preparation for a possible contract. This is possible due to our legitimate (commercial) interests, which may outweigh your (privacy) rights (as you can reasonably expect such processing in the context of prospecting).

We may also process personal data in this context if you are, for example, an employee or appointee of one of our partners, suppliers or service providers.

If you are a customer of ours, this may be based on our legitimate interests to do business which may override your (privacy) rights (as you can reasonably expect such processing as a customer).
