Information society services
The Administrator does not collect data from children. A User should be at least 16 years old to independently give consent for the processing of personal data for the provision of information society services, including marketing purposes, or obtain the consent of a legal guardian (e.g., a parent) for this purpose. If the User is not yet 16 years old, they should not use the Website and the pelvismed.com service. The Administrator is entitled to make reasonable efforts to verify whether the User meets the age requirement mentioned above or whether the person exercising parental authority or guardianship over the User under the age of 16 has given consent or approved it.

The user has the rights outlined in Articles 15-21 of the GDPR at all times, including the right to:

If the User has given consent for a specific action, that consent can be withdrawn at any time, resulting in the removal of their email address from the Administrator’s mailing list and the cessation of the specified actions (in the case of consent-based subscriptions). The withdrawal of consent does not affect the processing of data that occurred before the withdrawal of consent.

It can only help in better matching content and targeted ads to the User’s interests. The information used is anonymous and is not associated with personal data provided by the User, for example in the purchase process. They result from statistical data such as gender, age, interests, approximate location, behavior on the Site. Every User has the right to object to profiling if it would have a negative impact on the User’s rights and obligations.
