be allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting
out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In any
case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the
processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is
a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into
a contract.
