— Provision of Services: The lawful basis of this processing activities is art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation (“[…] processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract”). You can choose not to provide your Personal Data for this purpose, but if you do not complete the fields marked with an asterisk (*) it will not be possible to provide the Services through the Website or respond to your requests;
