The legal bases on which we process your personal data are:

Profiling and Automated Decision Making

We may conduct profiling based on monitoring your browsing activities on our Digital Media to better understand your preferences and centre of interests and adapt our marketing communications to your profile, unless you object in the conditions set forth in Article 10 of this Privacy Policy.

Subject to your consent, we may cross the data we collect with your consent with contact details data that you have previously agreed to share with us (e.g., your email address, provided during one of your previous visits in our Digital Media) in order to (i) identify you and (ii) provide you with content and advertising adapted to your interests.

We may process Personal Data involving automated decision making, including for the performance of a contract (e.g. avoid fraudulent payment) or subject to your explicit consent, to better serve your needs in accordance with your preferences.
Please note that the automated tools used are regularly checked to ensure that the Personal Data is processed fairly. Specific measures such as data minimization are implemented when creating profiles. You are invited to express your point of view through the right of access described above. You can also object the result of the automated decision by sending an email to the contact details in Section 11 below.

4. What happens if you do not wish to share your Personal Data?

If you choose not to submit any Personal Data when requested, you may not be able to participate in certain activities and personalized features, or the Digital Media services and special offered to you may be limited.

However, to simply browse our Digital Media and learn more about PRUK and our products, you do not need to give us any Personal Data. In any event, we will always inform you of the Personal Data that is necessary in order to benefit from a service.
