If the processing is for the purpose of direct marketing, you can exercise this right at any time as described above. Insofar as the processing is for other purposes, you have the right of objection only if there are reasons that arise from your very personal situation.

After exercising your right to object, we will not further process your personal data for these purposes, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing of the assertion, exercise or defense of Legal claims serves.
