Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us. If you withdraw your consent this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew it.

What is Crayola’s email marketing policy?
Opt in: In order to receive e‑mail reminders from Crayola or to receive e‑mails from Crayola regarding new services and products, you must opt in to receive communications from us. If Crayola collects personal data through a website or physical means, you will be given the opportunity to opt in to receiving any communication from us other than that required to process your registration and inform you of progress of subsequent orders.
Marketing messages will contain a link that allows you to unsubscribe from our marketing list and will opt you out of receiving e‑mail marketing.
If at any point you decide to opt out we will not be able to send you any more reminders or communications about new products and services.
Will Personal Information be transferred outside the EEA?
Sometimes we may transfer your data outside the EEA, however, we will only do so where there are adequate safeguards in place. We may share information within our company headquarters in the US. The appropriate safeguards are standard contractual (controller-to-controller) model clauses, approved by the European Commission.

We do not use your data for automated decision taking or profiling.
