2. collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes, and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archival purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes is not considered, in accordance with Article 89(1), to be incompatible with the initial purposes (limitation purposes);

6. processed in such a way as to ensure appropriate security of personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality).
   

Processing is only lawful if and insofar as at least one of the following conditions is met:

1. the data subject has consented to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
2. the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the latter's request;
3. the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
4. the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
5. the processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
6. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data prevail, in particular where the person concerned is a child.

For residents of the State of California, this privacy policy is intended to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
