However, if you do record any personal data in the journal function, we will treat such personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.
The extent of the personal data you may be able to share with us will depend on the Service design and the features made available to you, as well as your level of participation in the Service.

Lawful bases for processing under GDPR
What are the lawful bases for processing personal data? The lawful bases for processing are set out in Article 6 of the GDPR. At least one of these must apply whenever we process personal data.

- Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
- Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. (This cannot apply if to a public authority processing data to perform your official tasks.)
When you register for an account or interact with our Service, such processing is necessary for the performance of our Services. (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
