7) Obligation to provide personal data
(Why do you have to provide data?)
The person responsible must inform the person concerned whether the provision of their personal data is required by law or contract, is necessary for the conclusion of a contract or is there any other obligation and what would be the consequences of not providing it?

As part of our contractual agreement, you must provide us with exactly the data that is necessary for establishing and carrying out a business relationship or for a pre-contractual relationship with us or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or execute the contract.
