8.3 Newsletter dispatch via MailChimp

We send our newsletter via The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/; hereinafter referred to as “Mailchimp”). We pass on the data you entered during the registration for the newsletter to Mailchimp based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure, and user-friendly newsletter system.

MailChimp uses this data to send the newsletter to you on our behalf and to statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For this purpose, the emails contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files stored on our website. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. MailChimp automatically creates general, non-personal statistics about the response behavior to newsletters.

We also have a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of the newsletters to optimize our advertising communication. For this purpose, the web beacons also collect data of the individual newsletter recipients (e.g., email address, time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system) according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and process it. Based on this data, conclusions about the individual newsletter recipient are possible. This data is processed by Mailchimp to automatically create a statistic that shows whether a particular recipient has opened a newsletter message.

To deactivate this data analysis, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

It is also possible for MailChimp to use the data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to its own legitimate interest in the demand-oriented design and optimization of the service or for market research purposes to determine from which countries the newsletter recipients come. However, Mailchimp does not use your data to contact you or pass it on to third parties.

Typically, your data is transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there. To protect your data in the USA, there is a data processing agreement with MailChimp based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. This data processing agreement can be viewed at the following internet address: http://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/.

Use of Youtube Videos

On this website, we use the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "Youtube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the extended privacy mode, which, according to the provider, starts storing user information only when the video(s) are played. When you start playback of embedded Youtube videos, the provider "Youtube" uses cookies to collect information about your user behavior. According to "Youtube", these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive actions. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.

If you do not want the assignment with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website, as well as our legitimate interest in the integration of the videos according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the analysis of user behavior, the design of our website according to user interest, and the exploitation of the financial potential of our website.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must address YouTube to exercise this.

Our legitimate interest lies in displaying advertising that is of interest to you and in achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google Ads uses cookies for conversion tracking, which are set when you click on an AdWords ad placed by Google.

These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.

You cannot be personally identified.

If you want to prevent tracking, you can disable the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.

11. Web Analytics Services

Google Universal Analytics

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics for this website (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland).

Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is transmitted to a Google server and stored there, with transmission to the USA being possible.

We use Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. Therefore, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server, also in the USA, and truncated there. In these exceptional cases, this processing takes place according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use. There is no merging of your IP address collected in this context with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the following browser plugin: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

12. Retargeting / Remarketing / Recommendation Advertising

Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel method

On this website, we use the "Facebook pixel" from Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook"). If explicit consent has been given, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising measures. The collected data is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, according to the Facebook data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

You can enable Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. For these purposes, a cookie may be stored on your device. These processing operations are carried out exclusively when you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent to the use of the Facebook pixel may only be declared by users who are older than 13 years old. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardians for permission. You can disable the use of cookies on your computer by setting your browser accordingly. However, this may mean that some functions on our websites can no longer be used to their full extent. You can also deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Facebook on the following Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/

Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must address this objection to Google. If you do not want Google to collect, process, or use data about you via our website, you can also deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings.
