NEWSLETTER - MAILCHIMP

You can view the data protection regulations of the shipping service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection standards (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active).

However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.

NEWSLETTER – SUCCESS MEASUREMENT

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from their server. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. Unfortunately, it is not possible to revoke the success measurement separately. In this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled.

GOOGLE UNIVERSAL ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics in the form of "universal analytics". "Universal Analytics" refers to a Google Analytics process in which the user analysis is based on a pseudonymous user ID and thus a pseudonymous profile of the user is created with information from the use of different devices (so-called "cross-device tracking"). .

TARGETING WITH GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to display the ads placed within the advertising services of Google and its partners only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interest of users.

GOOGLE ADSENSE WITH CUSTOMIZED ADVERTISEMENTS

We use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f.

The processing of the user data is therefore pseudonymised. We use Adsense with personalized ads. In doing so, Google draws conclusions about their interests on the basis of the websites visited or apps used by users and the user profiles created in this way. Advertisers use this information to tailor their campaigns to those interests, which is beneficial for users and advertisers alike. For Google, ads are personalized when collected or known data determines or influences ad selection. This includes, but is not limited to, previous searches, activities, website visits, app usage, demographic and location information. Specifically, this includes: demographic targeting, interest category targeting, remarketing, and targeting to customer match lists and audience lists uploaded to DoubleClick Bid Manager or Campaign Manager.

ONLINE PRESENCE IN SOCIAL MEDIA

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, interested parties and users who are active there and to be able to inform them about our services there. We would like to point out that user data can be processed outside of the European Union. This can result in risks for users, for example because it could make it more difficult to enforce user rights. With regard to US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU. Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from user behavior and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behavior and the interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). The processing of the personal data of the users takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for their consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a., Article 7 GDPR. For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibility of objection (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information from the providers. Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers.
