Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. In some cases, ZENITH may continue to process certain personal data where another legal basis applies, including where necessary for the operation, security, or administration of its Websites, services or contractual relationship with you.
If you do not provide certain personal data that is necessary for us to process your request or provide our products, services, features, ZENITH may be unable to do so. We will indicate where certain information is mandatory, for example in our registration forms.
