c. Consent: If you have granted consent (e.g. receiving newsletters or marketing communications), data processing will be based on that consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.
d. Legal Obligations / Public Interest: As a service provider, we comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as anti-money laundering, tax, and reporting obligations. This may involve identity checks and fraud prevention measures.

ASTRONET does not use automated decision-making to form client relationships or deliver services.
However, certain automated assessments (profiling) may occur for compliance and security reasons, such as fraud prevention or transaction risk assessment. These mechanisms are used solely to protect clients and ensure regulatory compliance.
