This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows a clear identification of the browser when the website is called up again. If cookies are used, so to make our website user-friendly.

In this way (cookies) collected user data are pseudonymized by technical precautions. Therefore, an assignment of the data to call the user is no longer possible. The data will not be stored together with personal data of the users. When you visit our website, users are informed, when using cookies, by an information banner about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and referred to this privacy policy. In this context, there is also an indication as to how a storage of cookies in the browser settings can be prevented. technically necessary cookies Some features of our website may not be offered or may not be offered properly without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after the page break. We require cookies for the following applications:

  • Language setting

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles. technically unnecessary cookies The use of technically unnecessary cookies is done to improve the quality of our website and its content. Analytics cookies (google analytics) tell us how the site is being used, so we can continually optimize our offerings. In that regard, the legitimate interest in the processing of personal data under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is to be answered in the affirmative.

google-Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google inc. (Google). Google Analytics also uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of the use of the website by our website visitors. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website by the website visitors are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On our website, however, the code “anonymizelp” is used, which uses a so-called “IP masking”, so that the IP addresses of the website visitors are recorded anonymized and shortened. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. In our order, Google uses this information to evaluate for us the use of this website by the website visitors. Google will compile reports on website activity in order to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics within the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

A temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session. When storing IP addresses in log files, the storage is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology system.

In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is completed. In the case of storage of IP addresses in log files, the deletion of the data takes place at the latest after 7 days.

  1. Newsletter

With the following information, we will inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, shipping and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to the receipt and the procedures described. Purpose of data processing We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of a newsletter are concretely described, they are authoritative for the consent of the users. Incidentally, our newsletters contain information about ideas and information about Stampin ‘Up! (this may include references to blog posts, lectures or workshops, our services or online presence). The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. That After registration, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses. The registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Similarly, the changes to your data stored with MailChimp will be logged.

The newsletter is distributed via “MailChimp”, a newsletter shipping platform of Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The e-mail addresses of our Newsletter recipients, as well as their other information described in these notes, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the shipping and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or to pass them on to third parties. We rely on the reliability, IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU privacy shield “Privacy Shield” and is committed to complying with EU data protection requirements. Furthermore, we have concluded a data processing agreement with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp pledges to protect the data of our users, to process it in accordance with its privacy policy on our behalf and, in particular, not to disclose it to third parties. The privacy policy of MailChimp can be viewed here.To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to provide your first and last name. This information is only for the personalization of the newsletter. We only use this information to adapt the content of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. This call will initially collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval. This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on their specifications or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our desire nor that of MailChimp to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more 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. There are cases in which we direct the newsletter recipients to the MailChimp websites. For example, Our newsletters contain a link that allows newsletter recipients to retrieve newsletters online (for example, in the case of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can store their data, such as correct the e-mail address later. Similarly, the privacy policy of MailChimp is only available on their page. In this context, we pointed out that on the websites of MailChimp cookies are used and thus personal data processed by MailChimp, their partners and service providers used (such as Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. For more information, see the privacy policy of MailChimp.
