6) Use of customer data for direct marketing
6.1 Registration for our email newsletter
If you register for our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The mandatory information for sending the newsletter is solely your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter after you have explicitly confirmed that you agree to receive the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email, in which you will be asked to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store the IP address you provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration to address any potential misuse of your email address at a later time. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purposes of advertising outreach via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the responsible party named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve a further data use that is legally permitted and of which we inform you in this declaration.
6.2 Sending the email newsletter to existing customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to send you regular offers for similar goods or services as those already purchased from our range by email. For this, we do not need to obtain a separate consent from you in accordance with § 7 para. 3 UWG. The data processing is carried out solely based on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, no email will be sent from us.
You have the right to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible party named at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs at the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
