The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletter itself, in your profile area or by sending a message to the contact options above.

Notes on newsletters and consents

With the following information we will inform you about the content of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your rights of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and the procedures described.

Content of the newsletter

We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the user. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our products and our company (this may include, in particular, references to blog posts, lectures or workshops, our services or online presence).

Double opt-in and logging

Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else’s e-mail address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times as well as the IP address.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on ActiveCampaign’s servers in the USA. ActiveCampaign uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. According to its own information, ActiveCampaign can also use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, ActiveCampaign does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or pass the data on to third parties.

As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of ActiveCampaign to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Online retrieval and data management

There are cases where we direct newsletter recipients to ActiveCampaign’s websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletter recipients can access the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as their e-mail address. Likewise, the Privacy Policy of ActiveCampaign can only be accessed on their website.

In this context, we pointed out that cookies are used on the ActiveCampaign websites and personal data is processed by ActiveCampaign, its partners and the service providers used (e.g. Google Analytics).
