Rights under GDPR

Providing personal data is voluntary, however, depending on the circumstances, a refusal to provide data or a request to remove it may prevent the Law Office, in particular, from contacting you, providing you with information about events and activities of the Law Office or performing its service.

If you do not want the Law Office to process your personal data for marketing purposes, you may object or withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data for this purpose at any time. However, the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing performed on its basis before the withdrawal of your consent.
