– Type of terminal device used when you access images in the newsletter or click on links

– Behavior on our website when you access it via a link from our newsletter (along with the time of these actions)

– Location of retrieval, if you retrieve images in the newsletter or click on links (by means of assignment of your IP address, which we do not store, however)

We save this data to your user profile, which is assigned to the data you entered when you registered for the newsletter. We use this data to evaluate and optimize our e-mail marketing and for purposes of personalized advertising and market research. This enables us to send you personalized product, service and offer information that is of particular interest to you as part of our newsletter. You can revoke your consent to this data processing at any time with future effect by unsubscribing from the newsletter. We delete the tracking data when you unsubscribe from our newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

The data processed when sending and evaluating the emails is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp acts as a processor for us within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR.
