As the processing of your data is a prerequisite for fulfilling a concluded contract, we may and must process your data. The use of The Breed Archive as an unregistered visitor is subject to our terms of use; a voluntary registration results in a registration relationship.
The purpose of the data processing is to ensure the retrievability of information and to provide communication channels for disseminating content and servicing customers.
The Breed Archive (formerly The Whippet Archive) is an online pedigree database, available since 2006. Users worldwide provide and maintain the content for it. There is a public interest in the content of the archive within the meaning of the GDPR Art 5 para 1 sub-para b.
Other legitimate interests include: the operational safety and data security of our services; the distribution of information by The Breed Archive; the measurement and analysis of user behaviour for the purpose of improving our services; the freedom of expression and information; and the placement of our own or third-party advertising, which make it possible for us to maintain many aspects of the service.
The primary purpose of the data processing is to provide information to users on breeding animals, and their breeders and owners, in the form of a publicly accessible archive.
The right to process the data is derived from the legal principles of the freedom of the press, opinion, and communication.
We explicitly ask for your consent to use your data for individual services (e.g. for newsletters) for which there is no direct legal basis for processing. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect.
