Your chances of getting your money back

You can object to the use of your data for advertising at any time (Art. 21 DSGVO). Telephone and email advertising are in any case only permitted with consent (§ 7 UWG).

An entry on the Robinson list signals to reputable advertisers not to contact you. Through a blocking note in the registration register you can limit the passing on of your registration data for advertising purposes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I stop unwanted advertising most effectively?

Combine the routes: object directly to the company (advertising blocking note), register on the Robinson list and set transmission blocks in the registration register. Telephone and email advertising are in any case only permitted with your consent.

What does the Robinson list do?

It is a protection list that reputable advertisers check against before sending. An entry reduces addressed advertising. It is not a hundred percent guarantee, but an effective building block against the flood of advertising.

Can I prevent my registration data from being passed on?

Yes. At the registration authority you can apply for transmission blocks so that your address is not passed on for advertising or to address dealers. That is good protection against personalized advertising mail.
