Some of the data indicated above may be collected from public sources or third parties. When collecting your data (for example when opening a client account with Klaus), we indicate which information is obligatory to provide. If you do not provide such data, we may not be able to render to the client the services (e.g. to create a user account for the client) it requires.

Please note that if you act as a representative of our corporate client or partner (e.g. as an employee, member of management body, etc), we presume that the information you provide about yourself is not strictly personal and may be used by us in connection with rendering services to and communicating with the corporate client or partner.

How do we use your data and what is the legal basis for the use?

As explained above, we use your data for the rendering of the services which the corporate client has ordered from us or for communicating with the corporate partner you represent. The legal basis for doing this is our legitimate interest – we need to communicate with a legal person and if you act as representative of one, we assume that there is a balance of interest and we do not conflict with your interests, rights, and freedoms.

In the case of processing of the personal data on the basis of the legitimate interest, a data subject always has the right to object to such processing. If you do object, we will inform our corporate client/partner asking to provide us with a new contact person or otherwise comment on your objection.

If such documents in relation to our corporate client or partner include your name, e-mail, or other personal data we retain this data because we have to retain the document. However, in such a case, we will only process your personal data for the purpose of complying with the legislation in question and not for any other purposes. We may also need to retain your personal data longer if this is needed in relation to a legal claim made against us or making a legal claim by us against the company you are representing.
