- You have objected to a processing activity we base on our legitimate interests during the time we determine whether our legitimate interests override your privacy rights.
7. Your right to object to the processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data that we base on our legitimate interests. If you object to such processing, we will only continue with the processing if we have a compelling legitimate reason for the processing that outweighs your interests, rights, or freedoms or if continued processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim. You can always contact us for more information on the balance test that has been done.
