There are three options that justify **Legal basis for data processing**:

-   **Recruitment consent** (Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR)
-   **Study consent** (Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR and Art. 27 BDSG)
-   **Guardianship** (Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO and Art.
    1626, 1902 BGB)

Castellum is mainly used for the management of **Recruitment consent**. **Study
consents** must be obtained separately from the database by the respective

    -   There you will see a list of all consent documents that have already been

Consent documents are marked as invalid if a change in the law occurs,
significant changes are made to the old document, or other reasons require the
subjects's signature on a new document

1.  There are two options that can be implemented when a consent document becomes
    invalid.

    -   For both options, first go to **Admin** at the front page > **Consent
        documents** > click on the creation date of the consent document to be
        modified

    1. The consent document can be marked as **Is valid** AND **Is deprecated**

        -   **Is deprecated** can be seen as a intermediate step in the process of
            declaring a valid consent document to be invalid
        -   If both checkboxes are marked, the subjects remain in the database
            and may be recruited. However, a new declaration of consent should be
            obtained as soon as possible

    2.  If only the box **Is deprecated** is ticked, the consent document is
        presumed to be invalid in general

        -   If the invalidity of the document is saved, there is no longer any
            recruitment consent of subjects in the database

    This does not apply if the **Legal basis for data processing** refers to a
    **Study consent** or a **Guardianship**.
    The **Legal basis for data processing** can be viewed for each individual
    subject by following the instructions below:
