4. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to send newsletters, which are described below.
Rapidmail
This website uses Rapidmail for sending newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.
Rapidmail is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored on Rapidmail's servers in Germany.
Data analysis by Rapidmail
For the purpose of analysis, emails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called "tracking pixel," which connects to Rapidmail's servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.
Furthermore, we can determine with the help of Rapidmail whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. All links in the email are tracking links, which can count your clicks. If you do not want an analysis by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
For more information on Rapidmail's analysis functions, please refer to the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.
Legal basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
Storage period
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, either from us or from the newsletter service provider, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For more details, please refer to Rapidmail's data security notes at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
