Right to object
The data subject shall have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f), including profiling on the basis of those provisions. The controller shall cease processing the personal data unless it adduces compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or which are connected with the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for such marketing, including profiling related to direct marketing.
If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
The right referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be expressly brought to the attention of the data subject and displayed clearly and separately from any other information no later than the time of the initial contact with the data subject.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
Where personal data are processed for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), the data subject shall have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him on grounds relating to his particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
