Newsletter offer
Newsletter 2
With the following information we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you declare that you agree to the receipt and the procedures described.
Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the user. Incidentally, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
Double opt-in and logging: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else’s e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.
Registration data: To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. In individual cases, we ask you to enter a name in order to be able to address you personally in the newsletter.
The dispatch of the newsletter and the associated performance measurement are based on the consent of the recipient in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 Paragraph 2 No. 3 UWG or if consent is not required , on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 according to f. GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 Paragraph 3 UWG.
The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. Our interest is directed towards the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests as well as the expectations of users and also allows us to prove consent.
Cancellation / Revocation – You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, ie revoke your consent. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. On the basis of our legitimate interests, we can save the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years before we delete them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time.
Newsletter – Mailchimp 2
The newsletter is sent using the mailing service provider “MailChimp”, a newsletter mailing platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the data protection regulations of the shipping service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ . The Rocket Science Group LLC d / b / a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with the European level of data protection ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active ). The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit.
The shipping service provider can use the recipient’s data in pseudonymous form, ie without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the shipping and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
Newsletter – success measurement 2
The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, its server. As part 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, are initially collected.
This information is used for the technical improvement 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 with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys 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 the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize 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.
A separate revocation of the success measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled.

4. Recipients of the data
We only pass on your personal data within our company to those areas and persons who need this data to fulfil contractual and legal obligations or to implement our legitimate interests.
We may transfer your personal data to companies affiliated with us, insofar as this is permissible within the framework of the purposes and legal bases set out in section 3 of this data protection information.
Your personal data is processed on our behalf on the basis of order processing contracts in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO. In these cases, we ensure that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. The categories of recipients in this case are providers of IT and ERP systems (Haufe Lexware, Fa. ACP-Solutions).
Otherwise, data is only passed on to recipients outside the company if this is permitted or required by law, if the transfer is necessary for the processing and thus the fulfilment of the contract or, at your request, for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, if we have your consent or if we are authorised to provide information. Under these conditions, recipients of personal data may be, for example:
a. Public bodies and institutions (e.g. public prosecutor’s office, police, supervisory authorities, tax office) if there is a legal or official obligation.
b. Recipients to whom the disclosure is directly necessary to establish or fulfil a contract.
5. Transfer of data beyond EU
A transfer to other countries is not intended.
A transfer of personal data to countries outside the EEA (European Economic Area) or to an international organisation only takes place insofar as this is necessary for the processing and thus the fulfilment of the contract or, at your request, for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the transfer is required by law or you have given us your consent. In these cases, recipients may include local agencies, airlines or hotels.
6. Duration of data storage
As far as necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship or for the fulfilment of contractual purposes. This includes, among other things, the initiation and execution of a contract.
In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, which result
which result, among other things, from the German Commercial Code (HGB §257) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). The periods prescribed there for storage or documentation are two to ten years.
The storage period also depends on the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), can generally be three years, and in certain cases up to thirty years.
7. Your rights
Every data subject has the right to information under Article 15 of the GDPR, the right to rectification under Article 16 of the GDPR, the right to erasure under Article 17 of the GDPR, the right to restriction of processing under Article 18 of the GDPR, the right to notification under Article 19 of the GDPR and the right to data portability under Article 20 of the GDPR.
In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is not lawful. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 7 DSGVO. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. Please also note that we may need to retain certain data for a certain period of time in order to comply with legal requirements (see section 6 of this data protection information).
Right of objection
Insofar as the processing of your personal data is carried out for the protection of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, you have the right under Art. 21 DSGVO to object to the processing of this data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process this personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. These must outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing must serve the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In individual cases, we process your personal data to carry out direct advertising. You have the right to object to processing for the purpose of such advertising at any time. If you object to processing for the purpose of direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
You are welcome to contact us to protect your rights.
8. Required provision of personal data
As a rule, the provision of personal data for the purpose of establishing, implementing or fulfilling a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures is neither required by law nor by contract. You are therefore not obliged to provide personal data. Please note, however, that these are usually required for the decision on the conclusion of a contract, the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures. If you do not provide us with personal data, we may not be able to decide within the framework of contractual measures. We recommend that you only provide personal data that is required for the conclusion of a contract, the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
9. Automated decision-making.
For the establishment, fulfilment or implementation of the business relationship as well as for pre-contractual measures, we generally do not use fully automated decision-making pursuant to Art. 22 DSGVO. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately or obtain your consent if this is required by law.
