Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data after your active registration for the newsletter is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).
Where data is transferred to third countries as a result of consent, the legal basis is Article 49(1)(a) GDPR (“Schrems II”).
The legal basis for the storage of additional data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Article 5(2) GDPR for the purpose of accountability of the given consent.
The legal basis for tracking is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in optimising the newsletter).
Purpose of data processing
If you provide a salutation and name, we use this to personalise our communication. The additional data serves to demonstrate accountability of the consent and to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
Tracking pixels may be used to optimise the newsletter by analysing opening rates and click behaviour.
Transfer to third country
Our newsletter is sent via a service provider in the USA, with whom we have concluded a controller-processor agreement. The transfer of email addresses is based on EU standard contractual clauses.
According to the case law of the ECJ (judgment of 16.07.2020, case no.: C-311/18 (“Schrems II”)), there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and surveillance purposes, possibly also without legal remedies.
Duration of storage
The data will be deleted after withdrawal of consent, unless it needs to be retained for proof purposes.
Possibility of objection and removal
The consent to subscribe to the newsletter can be cancelled at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.
Duration of storage
