| Oct 31, 2023 at 15:06 | comment | added | xngtng | @EikePierstorff I would respectfully disagree. Legitimate interests would normally include ordinary business interests, i.e. increasing profit through + sales or lower costs (e.g. recital 47 also recognizes certain direct marketing activities may possibly be legitimate interests), however, pure economical factors could be more easily overridden by the interests of the data subject. | |
| Oct 31, 2023 at 13:50 | comment | added | Eike Pierstorff | It might be a matter of legitimate interest, but "reduce cost", or any other economic factor, would not be a legitimate interest in the meaning of the GDPR (still there are other legitimate interests like protection against fraud or similar, so the point holds even when the example does not). | |

| Oct 31, 2023 at 11:17 | comment | added | xngtng | @MikeB You are right, my point was that the business also has certain freedom to choose what is essential (e.g. you cannot demand an online business set up an offline meeting to do business with you, even if this will protect your digital privacy). I will clarify. | |
| Oct 30, 2023 at 17:26 | comment | added | MikeB | Very slight disagreement with/clarification of the last paragraph - a provider may not with-hold a service if a customer refuses to provide non-essential info... | |
