3. Newsletter

If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your email address and additional information that will allow us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted.

Sendinblue

This website uses Sendinblue to send newsletters. The provider of this service is Sendinblue GmbH, Nürnberger Straße 8, 10787 Berlin, Germany.

Sendinblue is a service which organises and analyses the distribution of newsletters. The data you provide to subscribe to our newsletter will be stored on Sendinblue servers in Germany.

If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analysed by Sendinblue, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

Data analysis by Sendinblue

We use Sendinblue to analyse our newsletter campaigns. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. We can thus find out how often various links are clicked. In addition, we can see if certain actions take place after clicking on said links (conversion rate). We can thus determine whether the clicking of a link in a newsletter has led to a purchase, for example.
