In some cases, personal data may be processed in order to carry out our contractual obligations towards the User. We may use the data for example to offer essential functionalities of the Services and to provide access to the Services. If User contacts our customer service, we will use the provided information for answering questions and solving possible issues.

It is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy

When possible, we will inform Users about such transfer and processing.
