We use e-mail as a tool to communicate marketing, but only with your consent in accordance with applicable marketing law, where consent is needed. You always have the option to withdraw your consent as set out below:

• By following the opt-out instructions in the marketing communication
• By contacting us via info@hinc-log.se

Please note that even if you opt out to receive marketing materials, you may still receive administrative information from us, such as order confirmations, invoices, and other communications regarding ongoing or completed business deals.
