This website uses Brevo to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.
Brevo is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on Brevo's servers in Germany.
Data analysis by Brevo
With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked on particularly often.
We can also recognize whether certain previously defined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate).
Brevo also allows us to subdivide ("cluster") newsletter recipients according to various categories. The newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to interests, age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.
If you do not wish to be analyzed by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.
You can find detailed information on the functions of Brevo here: https://www.brevo.com.
The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
Duration of storage
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist 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 complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
