A written joint-controller arrangement pursuant to Art. 26(1) GDPR governs the allocation of responsibilities. Essential content is available on request.

Data Protection Officer (DPO)

Appointment of a DPO under Art. 37 GDPR is not mandatory, as the core activity does not involve large-scale processing of special categories of data or systematic monitoring. Editorial responsibility: Furkan Kayan.
