§8 Newsletter
When our company’s newsletter is subscribed to, the data is transmitted in the respective input mask to the person responsible for processing. The registration for our newsletter is made in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means you receive an email after the registration, in which you are requested to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other email addresses. The user’s IP address, as well as the registration date and time, are stored on registration to the newsletter. This serves to prevent any abuse of the services or the email address of the data subject. The data is not transmitted to third parties. An exception is when there is a legal obligation of disclosure. The data is used exclusively to dispatch the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. Likewise, the consent for storage of the personal data may be withdrawn at any time. There is a corresponding link in each newsletter for this purpose. The legal basis of the data processing upon user registration to the newsletter is the user's granting of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for dispatch of the newsletter as a consequence of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) of the German Fair Trade Practices Act, ‘UWG’.
(1) Use of rapidmail – description and purpose: We use rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstrasse 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. Among other things, rapidmail is used to organise and analyse the dispatch of newsletters. The data entered by you for the purpose of the newsletter subscription is stored on the rapidmail servers in Germany. If you do not wish to receive an analysis by rapidmail, you are required to unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this in each newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. For the purpose of analysis, the emails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to the rapidmail servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. Using rapidmail, we can furthermore identify whether and which links are clicked on in the newsletter message. All links in the email have so-called tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted. Depending on which typeface is used to create the respective newsletter, a connection to external servers such as Google Fonts is made.
Legal basis: The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Recipients: The data recipient is rapidmail GmbH.
Transmission to third countries: data transmission to third countries shall not take place.
Term: We store the data saved by you in the context of consent for the purpose of the newsletter until you cancel the newsletter and delete it from both our servers and the servers of rapidmail after cancellation of the newsletter. Data stored with us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remains unaffected by this.
Withdrawal option: You have the option to withdraw your consent for data processing with future effect at any time. The legality of data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
