If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

10. The VielGut Club newsletter

The following information explains the content of our newsletter, the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedure and your rights of objection.

By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedure described.

We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter”) with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission.

Content of the newsletter

If the content of the newsletter is specifically described when registering for the newsletter, it is decisive for the user's consent. Our newsletters contain reports from our own everyday life, recipes, news, (product) recommendations and other information.

Double opt-in and logging

Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called “double opt-in procedure”. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration.

This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people's e-mail addresses.

Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation and the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the mailing service provider are also logged.

Service provider

The newsletter is sent by 'Kit, Inc.', 750 West Bannock Street #761, Boise, Idaho 83701-0761, USA.

You can view the privacy policy of Kit, Inc. here ↗. 'Kit, Inc' has undertaken to comply with the European level of data protection via standard contractual clauses (see here ↗ ).

According to its own information, the mailing service provider can use this data in anonymized form, i.e. without assignment to the respective user, to optimize or improve its own services, for example to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass it on to third parties.

Registration data

To register for the newsletter, all you need to do is enter your e-mail address and a name. You can enter your first name, but of course you can also enter any other name you would like to be addressed by. This is only used to address you personally in the newsletters.

Statistical survey and analyses ('performance measurement')

The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”. This is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the mailing service provider's server when the newsletter is opened. 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, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of 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 individual newsletter recipients. It is neither our aim nor in our interest, nor that of the mailing service provider, to observe individual users. The evaluations are used exclusively 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.

A separate revocation of the performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled.

Cancellation and revocation

You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time with one click, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to the newsletter being sent by the mailing service provider and the statistical analyses will expire. Unfortunately, it is not possible to withdraw your consent to the newsletter being sent by the newsletter service provider or to the statistical analysis separately. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. Once users have subscribed to the newsletter and canceled their subscription, their personal data will be deleted.

The use of the mailing service provider, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. I am interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our interests and meets the expectations of users.
