Duties to provide information when data is collected in the context of newsletters
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, personal data will be collected. We use this data for our own advertising purposes (e.g. invitations to events, information about new products, news from the company) in the form of an email newsletter, provided you have expressly consented to this. Data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, point (a), of the GDPR.
Newsletter tracking:
If you have previously provided your express consent, newsletter tracking (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels) will be used. When the newsletter is delivered, the external server can then record certain data from the recipient, for instance the time of retrieval. The name of the image file is individualised for each mail recipient by furnishing it with a unique ID. The mail sender can identify which ID belongs to which email address and thus determine which newsletter recipient has just opened the email when the image is retrieved.

Purpose of data processing
We process your personal data only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. Your data will only be processed if you have consented to the sending of newsletters, for example to send you invitations to events, information on new products or news from the company.
Duration of storage or criteria for determining the duration

You have the opportunity at any time to revoke your consent to the use of your data for the newsletter with future effect.

Once you have unsubscribed from the newsletter, your personal data will immediately be deleted from our newsletter distribution list and included in a file of blocked addresses to ensure that your revocation of consent is complied with.
