- Customer support: responding to enquiries sent via the contact form or email.
- Security: preventing fraud, abuse, unauthorised access and protecting the Platform.
- Legal obligations: fulfilling tax, accounting and regulatory duties.
- Service communications: notices about subscription expiry, Platform updates, changes to the Terms.
- Platform improvement: aggregated and anonymous statistical analysis of Service usage.
4. Legal basis
We process your data on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6.1.b GDPR): to deliver the Service, manage the account and payments;
- Legal obligations (Art. 6.1.c GDPR): for invoicing and tax record-keeping;
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR): for Platform security, fraud prevention and non-promotional service communications;
