3.3 Contact Data (News and Newsletters)

It is important to us that you enjoy reading our news and our newsletters. That is why we strive to only include topics that might be relevant to you.

When subscribing to the free Autom8, the sign up process will require certain information. The subscription to the newsletter is logged. After subscribing, you will receive a message to the email address that you provided, in which you are asked to confirm your subscription (“double opt-in”). This is necessary so that third parties cannot register with their email address. You are able to withdraw and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. We keep your subscription for as long as it is required for sending out the newsletter.

We save the logged registrations and recipient addresses as long as an interest in the proof of original consent exists; As a rule, these are the statutes of limitation for a civil claim, which is a maximum of three years.

Sending a newsletter upon your consent is in accordance with the legal basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1, in conjunction with Article 7 of the GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (2) No. 3 UWG.

4. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties, No Data Transfer to Non-EU Countries

We fundamentally only use your personal data within our company.
If and insofar as we engage third parties for contracted services, only the data required for the corresponding service is transmitted, so that services can be completed.

Should it be the case that we outsource specific aspects of data processing (order processing), the data processor is contractually obliged to use personal data in accordance with the requirements of the general data protection regulation, and to guarantee the protection of rights of the parties involved.

We rely on external hosting services to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, memory and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which are used for the operation of the website.
