Nevertheless, we would like to point out that if you fail to provide us with personal information which we need in order to provide a specific service, we will not be able to provide that service (e.g. it is necessary that you provide your e-mail when making a purchase in our online store in order for us to fulfil your order).

With regard to personal data processing on the basis of your consent, the provision of personal information is always voluntary and without any negative consequences for you.
