Privacy Notice for Newsletter

Description and scope of data processing

Newsletter subscription process: To inform our customers, we regularly send out a newsletter by email. For this purpose, we only collect your email address and, for personalized addressing, your first and last name.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing your personal data within the scope of sending newsletters is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or, following the sale of goods or services, the statutory authorization under § 7 (3) UWG. You can revoke your consent to the promotional use of your data at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.

Purpose of data processing

The collection of your personal data serves to send the newsletter to you. The purpose of processing your personal data within the scope of sending the newsletter is to promote the sale of goods or services.

Duration of storage

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your personal data will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.

Right to object and removal option

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To do so, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Unsubscribing from the newsletter also constitutes a revocation of your consent.

Further information about data processing by service providers

The newsletter is sent via the service provider Intuit Inc. (Mailchimp), 2700 Coast Ave, Mountain View, California, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the service provider here:
https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

Mailchimp processes your data on our behalf and is contractually obliged to protect the data of our newsletter recipients and not to disclose it to third parties. Since data is transferred to the USA, we would like to point out that there is no data protection level equivalent to that of the EU. The use of Mailchimp is nevertheless based on a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR.

Newsletter performance measurement

The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a service provider, from their server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is collected. This information is used to improve the technical performance of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times.

Statistical evaluations also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, neither we nor, if used, the service provider aim to monitor individual users. These evaluations rather serve to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Double opt-in procedure

To send you the requested information, you must first confirm your email address. Without this confirmation (data protection-compliant double opt-in procedure), we cannot send you the newsletter. You will shortly receive a confirmation email. Please click on the link provided in that email.

If you do not receive the confirmation email despite having entered your email address correctly, there may be two possible reasons:

  1. You are already in our distribution list because you registered at an earlier time. In this case, you will immediately receive the requested information.
  2. The email has landed in your SPAM folder. Please check the settings of your email account and add our sender info@pinion.eu to your address book. If you still do not receive the requested information, please contact us by email at info@pinion.eu.
