E-mail advertising with registration for the Maileon newsletter 

To send our newsletter, we use the e-mail marketing tool maileon from the company XQueue GmbH, Christian-Pleß-Str. 11-13, 63069 Offenbach am Main, imprint: https://maileon.com/de/impressum/ (hereinafter referred to as "maileon"). We have concluded a corresponding order processing contract with the company for this purpose. You can access maileon's data protection information here: https://maileon.com/de/datenschutz/. The program enables us to regularly optimise the newsletter for you by analysing the opening rates and bounce rates. This is done by using so-called tracking pixels (a tracking pixel is a small graphic that is automatically loaded when an HTML e-mail is called up and thus enables user behaviour to be tracked). The tracking pixels used enable us to determine when you read our newsletter.
 This information is used to improve the newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. This information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. The analysis of the collected data is automated and serves to recognise the reading habits of the users and to adapt the content to them or to send different content according to the interests of the users. 
A separate revocation of this performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in which case the entire newsletter subscription must be cancelled or objected to. 
Processed data types: Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times). Purposes of processing: Direct marketing (e.g. by email or post). 
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR). 
Consent is automatically revoked if you unsubscribe from the newsletter. To prevent tracking, you can deactivate the display of images by default in your e-mail programme, whereby the newsletter may not be displayed in full and therefore certain functions cannot be used.

E-mail newsletter without registration and your right to object
We will use your e-mail address exclusively for our own advertising purposes for sending direct advertising for our own similar goods or services, irrespective of the processing of the contract. If you do not agree to this, you can object to the use at any time. The objection can be declared by any means of communication, not only by e-mail. However, it must reach us in order to become effective. This does not incur any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. The contact details for exercising the objection can be found in the imprint; you can also use the corresponding link in the newsletter for this purpose. Your email address will then be removed from the distribution list. If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right, on the basis of Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), to regularly send you offers by e-mail for similar products to those you have already purchased from our range. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in addressing our customers in an advertising manner, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests. You can object to this use of your e-mail address at any time by sending a message to the contact option described in this data protection declaration or via a link provided for this purpose in the advertising e-mail, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Google Analytics (Dynamic) Remarketing 

1. description, purpose and scope of data processing 

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. 

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC). 

2. duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination 

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be served on each end device on which you log in with your Google account. 

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad targeting. 

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://adssettings.google.com/

3. legal basis for data processing 

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merging), the collection of the data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Google AdWords Conversion Tracking 
This website uses Google AdWords conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. Users who do not wish to participate in the tracking can deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via their internet browser under user settings.

Right of objection 
Insofar as we process personal data as explained above in order to protect our legitimate interests that prevail in the context of a balancing of interests, you may object to this processing with effect for the future. If the processing is carried out for direct marketing purposes, you can exercise this right at any time as described above. If the processing is carried out for other purposes, you will only have the right to object if there are grounds arising from your particular situation. After exercising your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. 

This does not apply if the processing is for direct marketing purposes. 

Then we will not further process your personal data for this purpose.
