Advertising, postal advertising and customer analyses. We process the data collected to the extent permitted by law.

Right of objection and revocation at any timeYou have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, provided that the legal requirements are met (Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).If you object to the processing of your data for advertising purposes (Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR) or wish to revoke your consent, a short message to us by email to info (at) florianlexstiftung.de or by post to the Florian Lex Foundation is sufficient. Your data will then no longer be processed for the advertising purposes covered by the advertising objection or the revocation of consent. The legality of the processing carried out up to the objection or revocation remains unaffected. After you object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes or withdraw your consent, we are obliged under data protection law according to Art. 21 Para. 3 GDPR to add the data required for this (name, address, email address) to our internal advertising block list and to store it permanently - only for this purpose - (to block) and to use it to compare it with our future advertising files (Art. 6 Para. 1 c, f GDPR).

Notes on external cross-references ("links") The Florian Lex Foundation, as a content provider, is responsible for its own content, which it makes available for use, in accordance with general law. Cross-references ("links") to content provided by other providers must be distinguished from this own content. Through these cross-references, the Florian Lex Foundation makes "third-party content" available for use. It is only responsible for this third-party content if it has positive knowledge of it (i.e., also of illegal or criminal content) and if it is technically possible and reasonable for it to prevent its use. Cross-references, however, are always "live" (dynamic) references. When the link was first created, the Florian Lex Foundation reviewed the third-party content to determine whether it might give rise to civil or criminal liability. However, it is not legally obligated to continually review the content to which it refers in its offerings for changes that could give rise to new liability. Only if it determines or is informed by others that a specific offer to which it has provided a cross-reference triggers civil or criminal liability will it remove the reference to this offer, provided this is technically possible and reasonable. 11. Changes to our privacy policy The Florian Lex Foundation reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time to comply with data protection regulations.
