When exerting such right to objection, we will ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal information as it is done by us. We will review the circumstances and will either discontinue the processing, modify the processing or give you our compelling legitimate grounds based on which we will continue the processing. We will also continue the processing to the extent necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You can object to the processing of your personal data for marketing and data analysis purposes at any time. In this case, we will discontinue the processing of your personal information upon receipt of your objection.

Right of Withdrawal

You may withdraw a consent to the processing of your personal information with effect in the future at any time. The legality of the processing made until such withdrawal, however, is not affected by the foregoing.
