In the case of processing personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract, the contractual party of which is the affected person, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for pre-contractual measures.
If the processing is required in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of INM or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh this legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
