Combinations:

Unless you also actively submit personal data such as your name or address, passively tracked data does not typically allow us to identify you personally (even though it can theoretically be done, We do not have the means or an interest to find out who you are, unless you identify yourself voluntarily through an active submission of data). To the extent permitted by applicable law, We reserve the right to combine passively tracked data with personal data that you actively submit.

Two, for purposes of informing you about products and services; you can opt out of receiving marketing emails as explained below.

Our use of your personal data will always have a lawful basis, either because it is necessary for our performance of a contract with you, because you have consented to our use of your personal data (e.g. by subscribing to emails or blogs), or because it is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms taking into consideration your reasonable expectations after reading this Policy.
