Purposes and legal basis of the data processing
Data processing is used to handle customer requests (e.g. military units, airlines, private pilots, professional pilots, associations, airports).

Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Section 1 of the German Freedom of Information Act (IFG) and Section 3 of the German Environmental Information Act (UIG).

We require a functioning customer management to fully provide the legally prescribed services.

The purpose of this is to ensure safety in German airspace.
