7. Newsletter / Subscription to the newsletter
Lernidee Erlebnisreisen informs its clients and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about new company offers and gives users the opportunity to subscribe to this newsletter. When you register for our newsletter in the input mask, the personal data (name, address, email address) you enter for registration to the newsletter will be transmitted to the controller and stored. The data subject may only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to prove whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the newsletter mailing. Lernidee Erlebnisreisen can arrange for the data to be transmitted to an order processor, for example a lettershop, who shall also only use these personal data for internal use, ascribed to the controller. There will be no transfer of personal data collected to unauthorised third parties. During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The legal basis for the processing of the data after registering to the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 page 1 lit. f GDPR. The data shall be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user’s email address shall be stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances.
The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for mailing the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way. You may revoke the use or processing of your data for the purpose of marketing, advertising or opinion surveys and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, free of charge, by sending an email to team@lernidee.de.
