Hubspot Newsletter Dispatch
Our newsletter is also sent via HubSpot. The following information explains our newsletter, its registration, dispatch and evaluation procedures as well as your right of revocation. The subscription to our newsletter is at the same time your declaration of consent to the receipt and the presented procedure of the newsletter.
Content of the newsletter: The basic prerequisite for sending newsletters, e-mails and other e-messages with advertising information (hereinafter referred to as “newsletter”), such as white papers, is the consent of the recipient or a legal permission (in particular § 7 para. 3 UWG). In the event that individual newsletters are described in concrete terms with regard to registration, then this execution is decisive for the consent of the newsletter subscriber. Without a separate description, our newsletters contain interesting information about our
product range, offers and campaigns as well as company-relevant information.
Double-Opt-In: The registration procedure for our newsletter is called Double-Opt-In. This means that you will receive an e-mail from us directly after your newsletter registration, in which we ask you once again to confirm your registration. In this way, we ensure that only persons who actually have access to the listed e-mail address register for the newsletter. The newsletter registrations including the storage of registration and confirmation time and with your IP address are logged by us as proof that the registration process complies with the legal requirements. Changes to your stored data with the newsletter service provider are also recorded in the log.
According to the information of the newsletter service provider, the latter uses the data pseudonymously without user allocation to improve its services. The newsletter service provider is not permitted to use the recipient data of the newsletter for its own purposes or to pass it on to third parties.
To subscribe to the newsletter, simply enter your e-mail address. Further data such as first and last name, company and telephone number are optional and serve only your personal address in the newsletter.
The so-called web beacon, which is included in all newsletters, is a pixel-sized file that the HubSpot server automatically retrieves when the newsletter is opened. Technical information, e.g. on the browser and system, on your IP address and on the time of the retrieval, is created in the process. They serve the technical service optimization and are used with the help of technical data or the target groups and your reading behavior on the basis of their retrieval locations (which are determinable with the help of the IP address) or the access times. Also the indications, if and when the newsletters are opened and which links are clicked, are contents of the statistical collection. An assignment to individual newsletter recipients is thus possible. However, a related observation of individual users is neither our intention nor that of the service provider. Our sole purpose is to learn more about the reading habits of our users and to tailor our content accordingly or to publish different content according to their interests.
The consent of the recipients according to. Art. 6 para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, Art. 49 para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 para. 2 No. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission according to § 2 No. 3 UWG. § 7 para. 3 UWG is a basic requirement for our newsletter dispatch and its success measurement.
The newsletter subscription process is logged based on our legal interests as per. Art. 6 para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO and is at the same time proof of consent for receiving the newsletter. It is up to you to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by revoking your consent. At the end of each newsletter you will find a corresponding cancellation link. As soon as you have cancelled your newsletter subscription, your personal data will be automatically deleted.
