Data analysis by Brevo

Brevo enables us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For instance, it allows us to see whether a newsletter
message has been opened and, if so, which links may have been clicked. This enables us to determine, which
links drew an extraordinary number of clicks.

Moreover, we are also able to see whether once the e-mail was opened or a link was clicked, any previously
defined actions were taken (conversion rate). This allows us to determine whether you have made
purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

Brevo also enables us to divide the subscribers to our newsletter into various categories (i.e., to “cluster”
recipients). For instance, newsletter recipients can be categorized based on age, gender, or place of
residence. This enables us to tailor our newsletter more effectively to the needs of the respective target
groups.

If you do not want to permit an analysis by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a
link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter
right on the website.

interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate
interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to
the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
