In some limited cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal data from you. If we ask you to provide personal data to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal data is mandatory or not, as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal data. Where required by law, we will collect personal data only where we have your consent to do so.
