It is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing (“order processing”), we contractually oblige contract processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. A data transfer to places or persons outside the EU outside of the case mentioned in section 4 of this declaration does not take place and is not planned.
