In the following we inform you about the processing when you consent to receive certain promotional emails from us and your rights in connection thereto.

Personal Data

According to Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

• Right erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) (Article 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)

If and to the extent the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1)(1)(a) or Article 9 (2)(a) GDPR, you have the right to revoke the consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

There is no automated decision making.

Your Right To Object Pursuant Article 21 GDPR

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. We will no longer process the personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

To the extent we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right as the data subject to object to the processing of personal data about you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to any profiling, to the extend connected to such direct marketing.

Processing Activities

Promotional Emails

Processing Activity

If you consent to receive promotional emails from us, we will send emails to your email address from time to time to the extend allowed by your given consent. We will save your consent settings in connection with your email address, the time the consent was given and other information to be able to prove that you have given consent.

Purpose And Legal Basis

The purpose of this processing activity is to send you interesting promotional material.

The legal basis is Article 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. In case you withdraw your consent, we will still store some of your personal data in order to be able to prove that you had previously given consent. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1)(1)(f) GDPR.

Storage Period

The data is deleted when storage is no longer required. We will continue to store some personal data to be able to prove that you had previously given consent until that is no longer necessary.

Obligation To Provide The Data

The provision of the personal data is neither a statutory nor a contractual requirement, nor is it a requirement necessary to enter into a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, if you do not provide mandatory data, you would not receive any promotional emails.
