In some cases we need your name and address as well as other information in order to be able to offer you the requested service.

The same applies if we supply you with information material on request or if we answer your inquiries. In these cases we will always point this out to you. Furthermore, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.

Whenever we process personal data, we do so in order to be able to offer you our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

Automatically stored non-personal data

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • Complete IP address of the requesting computer

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, this data is stored by us for a short time. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons on the basis of this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. The data is also processed in anonymized form for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data sets or passed on to third parties, even in excerpts. Only our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report, show the number of page views.

We can also see whether certain pre-defined actions were taken after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see if you made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter. Brevo also allows us to cluster newsletter recipients into different categories. For example, newsletter recipients may be clustered by age, gender or location. This allows us to tailor our newsletters more closely to our target audiences.
