Ehlers Group undertakes to obtain the User’s express and verifiable consent for the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes. The User has the right to withdraw consent at any time, as easily as it was given. As a general rule, withdrawal of consent will not condition the use of the Website. In cases where Users are required to provide their data through forms for queries, requests for information, or other purposes related to the Website, they will be informed if the completion of any of them is mandatory because such data are essential for the proper execution of the operation.
