Newsletter delivery and tracking after newsletter registration

You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website, which we will send you by email at the intervals specified during registration.
The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address where you would like to receive the newsletter.
We use the double opt-in procedure for registration for our newsletters. This means that after you register on our website, we will send an email to the email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. You will only receive our newsletter after you have confirmed this.
After your confirmation, we will store your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter.
In order to measure the opening rate and the content of interest to newsletter subscribers in the newsletters we send, we place a small transparent graphic, a so-called tracking pixel, in the newsletter email with your consent, and the links contained therein are redirected so that we can see that a specific page has been accessed via a link contained in a newsletter. If the email is opened by you, an antivirus program, or a spam filter, and this graphic is also accessed, we receive information about an opening. However, the data of the recipients who open or click on the email is anonymized in the evaluations.

Purposes and legal basis for data processing

We store your email address, IP address at the time of registration on our website, the time of registration on our website, the content of the consent given, the content of the confirmation request email, the time of confirmation, and the IP address of the person confirming in order to be able to prove the actual registration or consent to the sending of the newsletter in case of doubt and, if necessary, to be able to investigate any misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for this logging is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in and for the proof of consent to the newsletter.
Your email address is also collected and stored so that we can send you the newsletter. The legal basis for sending the respective newsletter after registration for the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The legal basis for placing the tracking pixel in the newsletter emails, receiving and evaluating information about opening and link-clicking behavior regarding the email newsletter for statistical evaluation is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and, insofar as this results in information being stored on your end device or information already stored on your end device being accessed, § 25 (1) TDDDG.

Recipient

For the registration process, the administration of newsletter registrations, the transmission of the registration confirmation request email, the transmission of newsletters, the transmission of tracking pixels, the measurement of opening and click behavior, and the evaluation thereof, we use CleverReach, an email marketing service provided by CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, CRASH Building, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany.

Revocation of consent

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can also revoke your consent to the transmission of tracking pixels, the measurement and evaluation of the opening and clicked links in the newsletter emails at any time with future effect.
You can declare your revocation, for example, by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided in every newsletter email or by sending an email to info@wista.de.

Storage period

We store your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter until you revoke your consent.
We also store your IP address at the time of registration, the time of registration, the content of the consent given, the content of the confirmation email, the time of confirmation, and the IP address of the person confirming up to three years after the end of the year in which you revoked your consent/unsubscribed from the newsletter (limitation period). The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in proving that consent has been given, see also Art. 7 (1) GDPR.
After unsubscribing, your data collected for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be deleted immediately, unless we need it for the above-mentioned proof of the originally given consent. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data, necessity for the conclusion of a contract, obligation of the data subject to provide personal data, possible consequences of non-provision
The provision of personal data is necessary for the application process. If you do not provide us with your email address and do not confirm the registration confirmation request, we will not be able to send you a newsletter by email.
