- Master data (e.g. name, email)
- Account/membership data
- Usage and access data, insofar as necessary for provision and abuse protection
- Contract and, where applicable, billing-relevant data
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract/pre-contractual measures), Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligations).
