Sign-up data

Statistical Analysis

The newsletter contains socalled “web-beacons”. That is a pixel-sized file, which is called by the MailChimp server when opening the newsletter.

Furthermore the information is stored, if and when the newsletter was opened by the user and which links have been clicked.

These information only help us to identify general user behaviour due to the usage of our newsletter and to improve the contents towards the optimal user experience.

Online-Call and data management

There are scenarios, where we redirect the customer to webpages of MailChimp. E.g. our newsletter contains a link which allows the user to view the newsletter online whereas this page is hosted on MailChimp servers. Furthermore, users are able to correct their data, e.g. email-address, later. Also MailChimp’s data privacy statment is only available on their sites.
