Partner for newsletter distribution via email
For sending email newsletters, we cooperate with “Brevo” from Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Strasse 126, 10179 Berlin (https://www.brevo.com/), to whom we pass on the data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter. Your data is usually transferred to a Brevo server in Germany and stored there.
Brevo uses this information for sending and for statistical evaluation of the newsletters on our behalf. For evaluation, the sent emails contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data; direct personal identifiability is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
Furthermore, Brevo may use this data itself based on its own legitimate interest in the needs-based design and optimization of the service, as well as for market research purposes, for example, to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Brevo does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to pass them on to third parties.
If you wish to object to data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
To protect your data in Germany, we have concluded a data processing agreement (“Data-Processing-Agreement”) with Brevo based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to Brevo. You can view Brevo’s privacy policy here: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/
