If you are logged into the associated social media Website (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, discussion boards, blogs, wikis,) while browsing on our Website, the social plugin allows that social media Website to receive information that you have visited our Website. The social plugin may also allow the social media Website to share information about your activities on our Website with other users of their social media Website. For more information about the information shared via a particular social media plugin, you should refer to that social media site’s privacy statement.

Right to Withdraw Consent. Where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information, you may have the right to fully or partially withdraw your consent. Once we have received notice that you have withdrawn your consent, in whole or in part, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented and have since withdrawn unless another lawful basis permits or requires the processing.

Right Not to Be Subject to Certain Automated Decisions. Where applicable, you may have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, except where the decision is authorized by law, necessary for a contract, or based on your explicit consent, and subject to safeguards required by applicable law.
