Right to object: the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons relating to your situation; the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes by using the opt-out procedure provided in any promotional message you receive from us. Please note that opting out from receiving promotional messages will not prevent you from receiving information that relates to any contract you may have entered into with us.

Right to data portability: the right to receive a copy of your personal data in electronic format and the right to transmit such personal data for use by a third-party service; and

Right to object to automated decision making: the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, producing legal effects concerning you or significantly affecting you in a similar way.
