The following information explains the content of my newsletter, the subscription process, the delivery procedure, statistical analysis, and your right to object. By subscribing to my newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described below.
Newsletter Content
I send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications containing promotional information (hereinafter referred to as the “Newsletter”) only with the recipient’s consent or where otherwise permitted by law. If the content of the Newsletter is specifically described during the registration process, this description is decisive for your consent. Otherwise, my Newsletter contains information about my services and activities.
Double Opt-In and Logging
Subscription to my Newsletter takes place using a double opt-in procedure. After registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing using someone else’s email address.
Newsletter subscriptions are logged to document the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation timestamps as well as your IP address. Any changes to your data stored by the newsletter service provider are also logged.
Subscription Data
To subscribe to the Newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. Optionally, you may provide your name so that I can address you personally in the Newsletter.
The Newsletter is sent and its performance is measured based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 7(2)(3) UWG. Where consent is not required, processing is based on my legitimate interest in direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7(3) UWG.
The logging of the subscription process is based on my legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My interest lies in operating a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both my business interests and the expectations of users while enabling me to provide proof of consent.
Withdrawal of Consent
You may unsubscribe from my Newsletter at any time and withdraw your consent. An unsubscribe link is included at the end of every Newsletter.
Following your unsubscription, I may retain your email address for up to three years based on my legitimate interests in order to document your previously granted consent before deleting it. Processing of this data is limited solely to the purpose of defending against possible legal claims. You may request deletion at any time, provided that the existence of your previous consent is acknowledged.
