  • the implementation of contractual or pre-contractual measures when data processing is aiming at:
    • producing, managing, and following up CLIENT’s files;
    • debt Recovery.
  • compliance with the statutory and regulatory obligations when data processing is aiming at:
    • the prevention of and fight against money laundering and terrorist financing;
