If consent is given, the User may revoke it at any time by making a request to the Owner in the manner indicated in paragraph 8 below.

The User may also easily object to further sending of promotional communications by e-mail.

The Data Controller informs that, following the exercise of the right to object to the sending of promotional communications by e-mail, it is possible that, for technical and operational reasons (e.g. formation of contact lists already completed shortly before the receipt by the Data Controller of the request for objection) the User will continue to receive some further promotional messages. Should the User continue to receive promotional messages after 24 hours have elapsed since exercising the right to object, please report the problem to the Controller, using the contacts indicated in paragraph 8 below.

5. LEGAL BASIS

Processing of the User’s request: the legal basis consists of Art. 6, para. 1, lett. b) of the Regulation.
