The legal foundation on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration.

If your personal data is used for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the use of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.
