What is the contractual performance ?

This legal basis applies when data processing is necessary for the negotiation or performance of a contract between the data subject and the data controller.

Example: The processing of data carried out to pay employees is based on the contractual performance of the employment contract.

When to choose contractual performance as a legal basis?

This legal basis should be chosen when:

  • There is a contractual or pre-contractual relationship between the data controller and the data subject.

  • The contract is lawful under contract law.

  • The processing is necessary for the execution of the contract or pre-contractual measures.
