for any other purpose related to the nature of each legal relationship, even if it cannot be foreseen in this policy.

All your personal data will be used by us in the scope permitted by you and the law and will never be transferred to third parties for promotional purposes (marketing).

If we need to communicate a legal document, an extrajudicial statement, or another paper to a natural or legal entity in a third country, this will only occur upon your order and after obtaining your consent; however, in certain cases, we are obligated by law to transfer your data, e.g., following a court decision or when cooperating with supervisory authorities.
