  Legal Basis for Processing We collect, handle, process, use and disclose your Personal Information only where we have a legal basis for doing so under applicable laws. The legal basis depends on how you use our Site and how we use your Personal Information. Our “legal bases” for processing your Personal Information are as follows:
  • Consent: In some cases, CVRx will only process your Personal Information after you have provided consent. For example, by signing up for newsletters and requesting to be contacted. Note: CVRx likely has a different legal basis for processing your information so that consent is not needed (e.g., legitimate interest). If the use of the date you are providing is not readily apparent at point of collection, we will provide additional information at that time regarding how we collect your Personal Information and the purpose(s) and use of your Personal Information.
  • Performance of a contract: CVRx processes your Personal Information in order to fulfill our obligations to you under contract to deliver goods and services to you.
