Right of objection
Right of objection in an individual case
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 GDPR; this also applies to any profiling which is based on these provisions.

Right to object to the processing of data for direct advertising purposes
In individual cases, your data will be processed in order to carry out direct advertising. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you for the purpose of such advertising.

Should you object to the processing for direct advertising purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Withdrawal of consent: Should you have given us your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing of your data prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by this.
