In such cases, if you do not wish to be subject to automated decision-making, you will not be able to participate in the game, campaign, or contest.

We may use your email address and telephone number for direct marketing purposes in order to provide newsletters, offers, and information regarding similar services that we believe may be of interest to you, as well as to request feedback regarding the quality of our services and customer support, even without your consent, where you are already our customer and did not object to such use of your Personal Data when providing them to us. Even if you did not object at that time, you may at any time easily object to all or part of such processing by:
