Conflicting provisions (4)
Clause A states that rights, including objecting to direct marketing, 'may be limited,' while Clause B asserts an 'absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing' at any time.
"In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information in some circumstances (such as where we are using the information for direct marketing). These rights may be limited, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal information about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or which we need to defend claims against us. In addition, Adobe websites recognize the Global Privacy Control available in some web browsers. If your browser is configured to send this signal, Adobe will opt you out of Adobe’s use of advertising cookies on that browser.
