We may use this information as evidence in case of a legal dispute or any similar claims. The legal basis for retaining such information is the rightful interest of the data controller. This data handling is necessary because there is no other way to prove the contents of such correspondence in the case of a legal dispute between the sender of the message and our company.
If it is in accordance with the marketing preferences, we may use the contact information you provided to us for future contacting you for the company’s marketing and advertising purposes, including information about the services and events that may be of interest to you, promotional and marketing material preparation and transmission.
For marketing messages, we may also only use contact information that is either publicly available (e.g. you provided them on professional networking websites for business purposes) or has been explicitly disclosed to us by our clients and business partners. We may also use contact information from third-party sources, e.g. marketing databases that we buy from a lawful provider.
In order to respect the privacy of private individuals we make sure that we only use contact information that we reasonably believe to be the official contact information of a business entity, non-government organisation, public body or other company (hereinafter: business entity). If you contact us on behalf of a business entity (e.g. you fill in the Company name field in the contact form) or order our services on behalf of a business entity, we assume that the contact information provided is that of the company and not of a private person. When we use a marketing database we have acquired from a third party, we take all the efforts necessary to make sure the data contained therein was obtained in accordance with the relevant privacy laws. If we have reasonable doubt in the lawfulness of a data source we use, we immediately stop using that data until further investigation. We only send marketing messages to private individuals if they sign up to our newsletter.

In this case, the legal basis for data handling is the legitimate interest of the data controller.
We store the data of the users registered in our system (including data entered in the contact form) and organise them in a database. The purpose of creating a database is to define and organize the interests of our partners in order to send information about promotions and services within their interest in the provision of a business-based service in the future.
