9. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify that the provision of personal information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor). Occasionally, a contract may require that an individual provides us with personally identifiable information that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal information when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be closed. Prior to any personal data being provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee explains the affected person on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or requires the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of personal data.
