Information About the Newsletter and Consent


With the following information, we inform you about the content of our newsletter as well as the registration, sending and statistical analysis procedures as well as your right of objection.  By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the receipt and the procedures described.

Content of the Newsletter


We send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter referred to as "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. The content of the newsletter described as part of the newsletter registration are authoritative for the consent of the users.

Double Opt-in and Logging


Subscribing to our newsletter involves what is known as a double opt-in process. This means that after subscribing, you will receive an email requesting that you confirm your subscription.  This confirmation is necessary to verify that you are subscribing with your own email address. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to verify that the subscription process was consistent with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of subscription and confirmation as well as the IP address.

Credentials


To sign up for the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your email address. We also use additional data such as last and first name, country, and customer group. The sole purpose of the information provided is personalization and segmentation of the newsletter.

Statistical Survey and Analysis


The newsletters contain a "web beacon", that is, a pixel-sized file that is retrieved when the newsletter is opened. With 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 serves to improve the technical performance of services based on the technical data or target audiences and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times.

These statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. Even though this information can be attributed to individual newsletter recipients for technical reasons we do not endeavor to monitor individual users. Rather, these analytics serve to determine the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content accordingly or to send different content that accommodates the interests of our users.
