Processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as tax reporting, record-keeping requirements, or responding to lawful requests from authorities.
4. Legitimate Interests
Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, such as fraud prevention, network security, or improving our services, provided your rights do not override these interests.
