3.1.1. Purposes and Legal Basis of Data Processing
We offer you the opportunity to consent to receiving information from PreZero Stiftung & Co. KG and affiliated companies via email through a contact form. If you have given your consent, we will use your data (email address, first name, and last name) to send you information about PreZero. This includes, for example, information about products, offers, promotions, services, surveys, training courses, as well as events and webinars related to PreZero Services. We also record your user behavior in emails (in particular, opening, clicking on links, and other email activities) using tracking mechanisms (including cookies and tracking pixels) and, based on this, create personalized usage profiles assigned to your person and/or email address to tailor email content and communication to your interests and to improve our offers. The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, Section 25 (1) TDDDG. To ensure that no errors occur when entering the email address, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure: After you have entered your email address in the registration field, we will send you a confirmation link. Only when you click on this confirmation link will your email address be added to our distribution list. If you consent to receive information via a contact form, the IP address of the accessing system and the date and time of registration and email verification will also be collected during registration. These data are processed exclusively for the purpose of being able to trace any potential misuse of an email address. The legal basis for the processing of the data described above is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in ensuring IT security. You can revoke your consent to receive emails and to the collection of email activities at any time with effect for the future. The link to the unsubscribe page can be found at the end of every email. By unsubscribing, we consider your consent to email delivery to be revoked. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the receipt of your revocation remains unaffected.
