The e-mail address you provide may be used to send you information, updates and notifications about other users interacting with your content or sending you messages, as well as to respond to enquiries and/or other requests or questions, which form an integral part of the operation of your account on the platform (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).
6.1.3. Based on the User's consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), we use the collected information — in particular information relating to participation in events, activity and declared interests — to prepare and send marketing communications tailored to the User's preferences. This includes in particular recommendations for events, materials and services that are consistent with the information obtained.
6.2. Where the legal basis for processing is consent, the User may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. Where the legal basis for processing is the legitimate interest of the Controller, the User has the right to object to such processing.
