If the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation under EEA or UK law, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

In certain cases, based on an assessment of our legitimate interests and your privacy and other fundamental rights, the processing is necessary for us to achieve legitimate interests, including our efforts to provide you with a positive user experience, compliance with laws or regulations outside the EEA or the UK, maintaining the security and integrity of our products and/or services and related platforms and systems, operating and optimizing our business, improving our products and/or services, developing new services, and managing our relationship with users.
