If the content of a newsletter is expressly described as part of a registration, this is decisive for the user’s consent. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services and about us.
Double opt-in and log-in: Subscribing to our newsletter is a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone else from logging in with other e-mail addresses. Newsletter subscriptions are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing connection and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider are also logged.

The registration procedure is registered on the basis of our legitimate interests. We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests as well as the expectations of users, and also enables us to provide proof of consent.
Cancellation/revocation – You can cancel receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You will find a link to unsubscribe at the end of each newsletter. We may retain unsubscribed e-mail addresses for three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them for the purpose of sending the newsletter in order to be able to prove previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for cancellation is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed.
