• if we process your personal data in our legitimate interests, you can also raise an objection against such processing reasoned with your particular situation. In the case of raising reasoned objections, we will examine whether our legitimate interests are still valid and current and if they still have priority over your interests and your privileges and after such evaluation we will take a decision as to the further processing or its cessation. However, if our legitimate interest is direct marketing of our products and services, you are eligible for the right of objection. In the event of an objection to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will not be further processed,
• You can also bring a complaint to the Main Inspector of Personal Data or other supervising body established in its place, if you decide that our processing of your personal information violates the provisions of law.
