Processing necessary for legitimate interests, provided these interests do not override the rights and freedoms of the data subject, is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Data Deletion and Storage Duration
Personal data will be deleted or blocked once the purpose of storage is no longer fulfilled. Further retention may occur if required by European or national law. Data is deleted or blocked once legally mandated storage periods expire, unless retention remains necessary for contract purpose.
