For reasons connected to his/her situation, the data subject is entitled to object to the processing of the data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or connected to the exercise of official authority vested in the Joint Controllers, or for the pursuit of the legitimate interest of the Joint Controllers. The Joint Controllers will refrain from further processing this data, unless they provide evidence of imperative legitimate reasons that prevail over those of the data subject. The data subject may object to the processing of his/her personal data at any time when it is processed for direct marketing purposes, including profiling. The right of the data subject to object to the processing of his/her personal data for marketing purposes using automated contact methods is extended to traditional methods, without prejudice to the possibility of the data subject to exercise this right in full or in part, i.e. objecting only, for example, to the sending of promotional communications via automated means. The data subject is entitled to the portability of the data (the possibility of receiving the data provided and possibly of sending it to another Data Controller) in the cases permitted by the GDPR (art.20); the data subject is entitled not to be the subject of a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling. As an exception, this type of processing is possible if authorised by the laws of the Union or the member State to which the Joint Controllers are subject, or if permitted by the data subject or if necessary for contractual purposes. In the latter two cases, the data subject is entitled to obtain human intervention from the Joint Controllers, to express his/her opinion and to challenge the decision.
