  • withdrawal of consent in case the Administrator obtained such consent to process personal data.

  • request to restrict the processing of personal data in cases specified by the provisions of the RODO;
  • objection to processing. The Data Subject has the right to object to the processing of data for marketing purposes, if the processing is carried out in connection with the legitimate interest of the Controller, as well as - for reasons related to the particular situation of the Data Subject - in other cases where the legal basis for the processing is the legitimate interest of the Controller (e.g. in connection with the implementation of analytical and statistical purposes).

Individuals have the right to restrict processing or object to the processing of their personal data at any time, based on their particular situation, unless processing is required by law.
