In addition, you can voluntarily provide further data (e.g. date of birth and address). We process such data solely in order to personalise the information and offers sent to you.

By registering, you consent to our processing of the data you provide to enable us to regularly send the newsletter to your address, and for the statistical evaluation of user behaviour and to optimise our newsletter.

You are entitled to revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and to process your e-mail address at any time. You will find a corresponding link for this purpose at the end of each newsletter. Your personal data will be deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

We are entitled to commission third parties to create, send and evaluate user behav-iour for our newsletter and to transfer your data for this purpose.

We would also like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when the newsletter is sent. Our newsletter may use web beacons or tracking pixels or similar technical aids for this purpose. In the process, we record when you read our news-letter as well as which of its links you click.

We use the data thus obtained to create a user profile in order to tailor the newslet-ter to your individual interests.

In order to disable tracking pixels, you can deactivate the display of images in your e-mail program by default. The tracking pixels will also be deleted with the deletion of the newsletter.

We regularly provide you with the opportunity to participate online or offline in con-tests as well as loyalty or customer retention programmes, and we conduct custom-er satisfaction surveys.
