An exception applies in those case, where it is not possible to obtain consent on de facto grounds and the processing of data is permitted by statutory provisions.

2. Legal bases for the processing of personal data

For the case where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make necessary the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal base (protection of vital interests.

3. Erasure of data and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be erased or blocked once the purpose of storage has ceased to exist.
