For example, the data subject is obliged to provide personal data when concluding a contract. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject has provided personal data, the person concerned must contact the artist or responsible person. The artist or the controller shall inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or whether it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to personal data and the consequences of non-provision of personal data.
