5. INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEWSLETTER 

5.1 Newsletter content

Newsletters are generally distributed by email, very rarely by post. The newsletters contain information about our products, our promotions and company events as well as special tailor-made offers from our product catalogue. 

 

5.2 Subscribing to our newsletter

Subscribing to our newsletter can either be done in writing in one of our stores, or online by REGISTERING ON OUR WEBSITE. The online registration for the newsletter is carried out by the so-called double-opt-in method. Therefore you will receive an email after registration that requests the confirmation of your registration. This confirmation is necessary in order to prevent misuse of your email address by a third party. For the newsletter subscription you only need to supply your email address. The newsletter registration is recorded in order to comply with the legal requirements. 

 

5.3. Use of the distribution service “MailChimp”

For the distribution of our electronic (“online”) newsletter we use the distribution processor “MailChimp”, a newsletter distribution platform by the US company Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU Data Protection Law “Privacy Shield” and is committed to abiding to the EU Data Protection Guidelines. You can look into the MailChimp Privacy Statement HERE.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients are saved on the MailChimp server in America. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore MailChimp can use this data to optimise and improve their services. MailChimp, however, does not use the newsletter recipients’ data in order to make contact themselves or pass them onto a third party. 

 

5.4. Statistics and Analysis

In the framework of the statistics collected by MailChimp, it can be ascertained whether the newsletter was opened, when it was opened and which links the recipient clicked on. The evaluation of this data serves to discover more about the reading habits of our newsletter subscribers and tailor our content to meet their requirements as best as possible, or to send different information tailor-made to our subscribers. 

 

6. CANCELLATION / ADVICE / CORRECTION / DELETION

You can retract your consent to receive our newsletter at any time. A cancellation results in your data not being evaluated as stated above from this point in time. A link to cancel your newsletter subscription can be found at the end of every newsletter or also made HERE. You can also contact our offices to cancel your subscription. 

Furthermore you may request details of the personal information which we hold about you at any time. If you believe that any information we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, please write or email us as soon as possible, at the address below.
