Art. 21 — Right to object

Object to processing of your data.

Object to processing based on legitimate interests, or to direct-marketing processing — the latter is an absolute right.

Under Article 21 of the GDPR you can object to processing of your personal data that is based on our legitimate interests, or carried out for a task in the public interest. You also have an absolute right to object to processing for direct marketing — when you do, we stop using your data for that purpose.

What this right covers

  • Direct marketing — your objection is absolute and we will stop immediately.
  • Legitimate-interest processing — we stop unless we demonstrate compelling overriding grounds, or the processing is for legal claims.
  • Profiling related to the above is also covered.
  • Objection does not by itself trigger erasure — file a separate erasure request for that.
Identity

We need to verify your identity before we can act on this request.

What you are objecting to
Category of processing

For direct-marketing objections you do not need to provide reasons — the right is absolute. For legitimate-interest objections, describe the particular situation that means our overriding grounds should not prevail.

Legal basis & retention

We process the personal data in this request only to meet our obligations under Articles 12 and 21 of the GDPR. Where you object to direct marketing, we keep a minimal suppression record for as long as needed to keep honouring your objection; the request record itself is kept for 24 months in our compliance log.
