obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided,
then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship with you, or to meet
obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal
information is optional.

authorities. The relevant data protection authority will be the data protection
authority of the country:

consider the alleged infringement has occurred.
Both personal information and personal data have the same meaning in the context of this
Privacy Policy.
