Legal grounds for processing of personal data

CLT Factory may process personal data if one of the following options applies:

  • Individual/company has given prior consent to processing of his/her/its personal data for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislation CLT Factory may be allowed to process personal data until an individual objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of personal data is subject to European Data Protection law;
  • Processing of data is necessary for the performance of a contract and/or for any pre-contractual obligations;
  • Processing is necessary for compliance with any legal obligations;
  • Processing of your personal data is necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal claims;
  • Processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in CLT Factory;
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by CLT Factory or by a third party, if such interests are not considered to override individual/company interests or fundamental rights. Such legitimate interests may be CLT Factory’s interests in developing, marketing and selling the products and providing services, pursuing and maintaining business relationship with customers, suppliers, distributors, partners and other business relations.

Upon request, CLT Factory will provide information to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Consent and withdrawal of consent. To the extent that CLT Factory’ processing activities are based on the data subject’s consent, the data subject maintains the right to withdraw his/her/its consent at any time. If data subject withdraws his/her/its consent, CLT Factory will cease processing of the data subject’s personal data, unless and to the extent that continued processing is permitted or required according to the applicable personal data legislation or other applicable law. If the data subject withdraws his/her/its consent, it will not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to the withdrawal.

Where personal data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in CLT Factory or for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by CLT Factory, an individual may object to such processing by providing a ground related to the individual’s particular situation to justify the objection. However, if personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, an individual can object to such processing at any time without providing any justification by contacting the CLT Factory Team.

Notice of statutory or required processing. In cases where CLT Factory processes personal data based on a legal obligation or a requirement under a contract or a requirement that must be met in order to enter into a contract, the customer is obliged to provide CLT Factory with the information so that CLT Factory can maintain the customer relationship, fulfil the contract and invoice for our services, etc. If the customer does not wish to provide CLT Factory with the information CLT Factory needs to comply with contractual and/or statutory obligations, the consequence may be that CLT Factory is unable to establish or continue the business relationship.

Individuals are not obliged to provide CLT Factory with personal data in all cases, for example, for use in CLT Factory marketing and newsletter distribution. However, in such instances, the individuals will not be able to receive marketing materials and newsletters from CLT Factory.
