Is the prior consent of the data subject required for the processing of company data for Business Information purposes?

No, for the treatment of data related to economic subjects the prior consent is not required because the legislator wants to protect transparency in the performance of economic activities. The processing of data in Atoka on economic subjects from public registers, lists, acts or documents knowable by anyone, without prejudice to the limits and methods that laws, regulations or Community legislation establish for the knowability and publicity of data, operates according to the principle of legitimate interest (art.6, paragraph 1, letter f of the GDPR). It is therefore appropriate to specify that the nature and structure of our database legitimately disregards the collection of consent to allow the use of data processed by us for Business Information purposes.
