Privacy Statement – Legitimate interests
For some of the data processing listed in the Privacy Statement, legitimate interest (art. 6.1 (f) GDPR) is invoked as legal basis.
For transparency purposes, the legitimate interests of Confo Therapeutics or third parties are listed on this page. Confo Therapeutics has assessed the purpose, the necessity of the processing to realize the purpose, has balanced the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects and taken some measures to limit the impact on the privacy of the data subjects. We believe that, partly given these measures, the interest of Confo Therapeutics outweighs the impact on the privacy of the data subjects, or that there is at least a balance between the interests involved.
