Our website uses MailPoet to send newsletters; the provider is Wysija SARL, 6 rue Dieudé, 13006, Marseille, France. MailPoet is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data transmitted by you for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on our server, but sent via MailPoet’s servers so that MailPoet processes your newsletter-related data (MailPoet Sending Service). Details can be found at https://account.mailpoet.com/. With the help of MailPoet, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns, which allows us to see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on, for example to determine which links have been accessed particularly often. We can also evaluate whether certain predefined actions were carried out after opening or clicking. For example, we can track whether you have placed an order after opening it. MailPoet also allows us to cluster the newsletter recipients according to various categories, such as age, gender and place of residence, in order to better adapt the newsletter to the respective target groups. If you do not wish to be analyzed by MailPoet, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message.
