In short: Juni will only collect and process your personal data if we have a legitimate reason to do so. We always rely on one of the following legal bases when we use your personal data: contractual obligations, legal obligation, legitimate interest, consent, and substantial public interest.

Contractual obligations

Legitimate interest

Juni might use this legal basis to collect and process your personal data, or share it with other organisations, to pursue our legitimate interests provided that the latter are not overridden by your interests, rights, or freedoms.

Consent

This legal basis applies when you have affirmatively consented to Juni collecting your personal data. This is usually the case when you indicate that you agree that your personal data is collected, e.g. by ticking a box. In cases where Juni processes personal data based on your consent, you reserve the right to revoke this consent at any time.
