Use of a newsletter
When you register for our newsletter, you provide us with your email address and optionally other data. We use this information exclusively to send you the newsletter. The data you enter when registering for the newsletter will remain with us until you unsubscribe from our newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending us a corresponding message. By unsubscribing, you object to the use of your email address.
The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a mailing service provider, from their server. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information is assigned to the individual newsletter recipients and stored in their profiles until they are deleted. The evaluations help us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The measurement of opening rates and click rates as well as the storage of the measurement results in the user profiles and their further processing are carried out on the basis of the user's consent. Unfortunately, it is not possible to revoke the performance measurement separately; in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled or objected to. In this case, the stored profile information will be deleted. Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).
We also use your email address, which we receive in connection with the sale of goods or services, exclusively for direct advertising in the form of our newsletter for our own similar goods or services, such as those you have ordered, provided you have not objected to this use. You can object to the use of your email address at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. You can exercise your objection (and thus unsubscribe from our newsletter) by sending a message to our email address (see Imprint).
When you visit our website, you transmit data to our web server via your Internet browser (for technical reasons). The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, this data is stored by us for a short time. It is not possible for us to identify individual persons from this data. After 30 days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level so that it is no longer possible to establish a link to the individual user. The data is also processed in anonymized form for statistical purposes.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
