The two preceding paragraphs do not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
- For exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

When personal data is processed for prospecting purposes, the User has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for such purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such prospecting.
