Profiling is any form of automated processing of your personal data, consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person.
Automated decision making is the ability to make decisions by technological means without human involvement. Lynk & Co will only use your personal data for automated decision making and profiling when you have provided your explicit consent.
At Lynk & Co, the personal data is only used when needed and only by the people who need it to provide you with relevant products and services.
