By agreeing to the terms of use and when seeing the privacy policy for the service, the data subject understands what data is collected and by whom.

Spacent is independently responsible for the personal data collected and determines why and how the processing is to take place, e.g. what personal data is collected and processed, which third parties are granted access to the personal data processed and when the data is deleted.
