What are the provisions of the law in this regard?
According to the law, we must have a legal basis for processing the data we keep about you. The processing of personal data by us for all the purposes listed above is based on the reason for processing, such as the performance of the Services to which you are entitled (objectives 1 and 6-7), processing necessary to comply with the legal or regulatory obligations (objectives 6-7) and / or the necessary processing in the legitimate interests of MPG in the exercise of its fundamental rights and of its personnel to carry out an activity in a way that does not affect your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms (objectives 1-5 and 7). When data processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the MPG, we ensure that the processing is performed in such a way that our legitimate interests outweigh any individual interests. Except for the above-mentioned reasons, we will process your personal data only with your consent (an additional processing basis).
Are you bound to provide us with the personal data we request?
You do not have the obligation to provide us with your personal data, but it is almost impossible for us to work with you and offer our services to you otherwise.
Do we process personal data about you without human intervention?
Yes, we do this sometimes. MPG may use automated systems/processes and make automated decisions (such as creating analytics profiles), to provide you with the services associated with the organization of the event, to track the performance of internal activities, such as marketing campaigns.

We can also contract providers that offer IT technology services and solutions, which may include the generation of customizable photo/video content, content that can be offered to you for free or for a fee, digital timing for competitive events, based on which the final rankings are generated, without which it would be impossible to reward the participants or implement certain Services provided by the Website;
• To our affiliates, the MPG Sports Club Association and the ProAm Events Foundation. They are located in Romania; our affiliates perform different functions, and as a result, your data may be shared with them for different reasons;
• Subject to legal provisions, we will share your data with the government, police, regulatory bodies or regulatory agencies if, at our discretion, we consider that we are legally required or authorized to do so, or that it would be prudent to do so; and
