You can exercise the right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

c.with the explicit consent of the data subject. The controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which include, at least, the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
