Newsletter Data
If you wish to receive our newsletter, we will need your email address, and we may require information to confirm your ownership of the provided email address and your consent to receive the newsletter. Additional data will not be collected unless on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to manage our newsletters, which are detailed below.
MailPoet
This website utilizes MailPoet for newsletter distribution. MailPoet is provided by Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Business Centre, No.1 Lower Mayor Street, International Financial Services Centre, Dublin 1, Ireland, with its parent company in the US (hereinafter referred to as MailPoet).
MailPoet is a service that facilitates the organization and analysis of newsletter campaigns. The information you provide when subscribing to the newsletter is stored on our servers but transmitted through MailPoet's servers for processing your newsletter-related data (MailPoet Sending Service).
Data Analysis by MailPoet
MailPoet assists us in analyzing our newsletter campaigns. It helps us determine whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked, if any. This allows us to identify which links received more clicks.
We can also track predefined actions taken after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For instance, we can assess whether a purchase was made after clicking on the newsletter.
MailPoet also enables us to segment newsletter recipients into different categories (clustering), allowing us to tailor newsletters to specific target groups, such as age, gender, or location. If you do not wish to be evaluated by MailPoet, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter. You'll find an unsubscribe link in each newsletter message.
For more information on MailPoet's features, please visit here.
You can review MailPoet's privacy policy here.
Legal Basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.
Data transfer to the US is conducted based on standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here.
Storage Duration
The data provided for newsletter subscriptions will be retained by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or until the purpose is fulfilled. We reserve the right to delete email addresses based on our legitimate interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.
If you are removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be placed on a blacklist if necessary to prevent future mailings. Data on the blacklist will be used solely for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This action serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). There is no time limit on the storage of data in the blacklist. If your interests outweigh our legitimate interest, you may object to this storage.
