The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form and is not linked to other personal data on you; direct reference to a person is ruled out. This data is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to adapt future newsletters better to the interests of the recipients.
If you would like to object to this data analysis for the purposes of statistical analysis, you need to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We have concluded an order processing contract with CleverReach, in which we obligate CleverReach to protect our customers’ data and prohibit them from disclosing it to third parties.
