Giving consent to personal data processing for these purposes is optional, but refusing to consent would prevent the required services from being provided.
Please note that the operation of data processing as provided for in Section 3.3 is not based on personal data, therefore no limitation is foreseen upon the Controller.

Previous consent can be withdrawn following the instructions of Paragraph 8 of this Privacy Policy.
If data processing serves the purpose of sending advertisement, promoting direct selling, carrying out market researches or sending commercial communications for products or services offered by the Controller and similar to those currently purchased by the User, The Best Rent can use email addresses pursuant to and within the scope of the legislation in force (ex Article 130, Sub-article 4 of the Privacy Regulation) and as prescribed by the Data Protection Authority regulation of 19 June 2008, also when no explicit consent is given. Legal basis for this operation of data processing is Article 6, Sub-article 1, Letter f) of the Regulation. You have the right to refuse or withdraw consent for this operation of data processing any time, immediately or following later communications, easily and with no charge, by writing to the contacts listed in the “Contacts” section. Interruption of the data processing will be notified immediately (Article 15 of the Regulation).
