However, the shipping service provider may not use your data to write to you or to pass your data on to third parties.

Newsletter success measurement: Newsletters that you have agreed to receive contain a so-called tracking pixel, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of our shipping service provider when the newsletter is opened. Technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are collected as a result of this retrieval. 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 their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. Statistical information is also collected as to whether and when newsletters are opened and which links are clicked. Technically, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, the evaluations serve us exclusively to identify 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.
