However, we reserve the right to put this data to additional uses to the extent permitted or required by law or necessary to support legal or criminal investigations. In this case, we will inform you again about this further data processing to the extent required by law and obtain your consent.

In the next sections we explain when and how we process personal data about you when you visit our website.

NextStepParenting is further entitled to process personal data if and to the extent necessary to detect or prevent misuse of this website or to enforce claims of NextStepParenting, its employees or users, whereby the data processing in these cases is necessary to protect these aforementioned legitimate interests of NextStepParenting pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
