FAILURE TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

If you do not provide us with personal data, we may not be able to provide you with the required services or goods in cases where we have to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have entered into with you. In this case, we may be forced to cancel the product or service you have entered into with us, but in that case, we will notify you in a timely manner.

ADVERTISING, MARKETING, AND COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES

SENS advertises in several ways. Some of them use personal data, others do not. We may purchase ad space in the real world and on online platforms, so some of the ads you see may not be specifically targeted to you. Some search engines and social media platforms may also match ads based on their likelihood to ads that have appeared to you before. This is governed by the privacy policies of these services.

Based on your previous personal information, we may anticipate content and good services that you may like. You always have the option to unsubscribe from all direct marketing messages we send you - especially newsletters. We can also contact you in connection with your abandoned basket, which you did not pick up in our e-shop.

Before we share your personal information with any company outside of SENS for direct marketing purposes, we will obtain your direct consent. However, this is highly unlikely because we respect your privacy and do not plan to share it with any companies other than our service providers.

We also work with partners to try to increase the reach of our ads, which is why we use analytics and retargeting. We use tracking data to provide relevant online advertising, including on websites and social media.

Tracking data (cookies) help us provide advertising on websites and social networks, which we believe is most relevant for you and potential new customers of SENS. Cookies used for this purpose are often placed on our websites by specialised organisations - which is also why you may see content from our websites again after you visit the SENS website. This is called retargeting. Cookies can also tell us if you've seen a particular ad and how long it has passed since it was viewed. This is useful because it means we can monitor the effectiveness of our ads and control how many times our ads can appear to people. Cookies also help us determine if you've opened a marketing email because we don't want to send you things you haven't read.

Almost all advertising-related cookies are part of third-party online advertising networks. To learn how you can control which ads appear to you online, check out the opt-out programs established by the European Alliance for Interactive Digital Advertising and the Alliance for Digital Advertising (United States). We do not control cookies set by ad networks.

If you'd like to opt out of Google ad retargeting, you can set preferences for the way Google displays your ad using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can sign out on the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or by using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser.

Requesting the correction of your personal information allows you to correct the incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.


Requesting the deletion of your personal data entitles you to ask us to delete or delete personal data if there is no good reason for us to continue processing it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or delete your personal data if you have successfully exercised your right to object to the processing, if we may have processed your data illegally or if we are required to delete your personal data to comply with local laws.
