4.0         USE FOR MARKETING PURPOSES

a. Newsletters and other marketing campaigns

With your subscription to the newsletter, if you have expressly agreed that we can, we will use your address and personal data for marketing campaigns such as the delivery of the Lumbers newsletter and/or the dispatch of catalogues. You can unsubscribe from all marketing campaigns at any time.
For sending our newsletter, we use the e-mail marketing services of MailChimp whereby the newsletter data can be forwarded to MailChimp for this purpose. The newsletter data is stored on the hosting server of the website as well as on MailChimps server.

Our newsletter can contain a so-called web beacon (tracking pixel) or similar technical tools. A web beacon is a 1x1 pixel, invisible graphic that is associated with the user ID of the respective newsletter subscriber.
For each newsletter sent, there is information about the address file used, the subject and the number of newsletters sent. In addition, we can see which addresses have not yet received the newsletter, either because the newsletter was not accurately dispatched or because it was not received due to a failure at the receiving end.  The opening rate including the information as to which addresses have opened the newsletter and which addresses have unsubscribed from the newsletter mailing list, can also be explained. We use this data for statistical purposes and to optimise the newsletter in terms of content and structure. This enables us to better tailor the information and offers in our newsletter to the individual interests of the recipients. The tracking pixel is deleted if you delete the newsletter.

To prevent the use of the web beacon in our newsletter, please set your mail program such that no HTML is displayed in messages, if this is already not the case by default. On the following pages, you shall find explanations as to how you can make this setting for the most common e-mail programmes:

Microsoft Outlook

Mail for Mac (“Load removed contents in messages”)

This data processing is based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR. This general permission allows the processing of personal data within the scope of our legitimate interest. The legitimate interest lies in sending marketing to promote our business, ensuring our direct marketing messages are received, and the analysis of the use of the newsletters. You can object to such data processing at any time (refer to section Contact).

 

You can object to the previously listed data processing in different ways:

  1. through an appropriate setting of your browser software, in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies that causes you not to receive third-party advertisements;
  2. by disabling the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser such that cookies are blocked by the domain, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, where this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
  3. by disabling the interest-related advertisements of the providers, who are part of the self-regulatory campaign “About Ads”, via the link  http://www.aboutads.info/choices, where this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
  4. through permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin

 

b. Facebook Pixel / Facebook Custom Audience

On our website, we use “Facebook Pixel” from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are a resident in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Facebook can designate visitors to our website as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”) using Facebook-Pixel. Accordingly, we use Facebook-Pixel to display Facebook ads that are placed by us only to those Facebook users, who have also shown interest in our website or have shown specific characteristics (e.g. interests in specific topics or products that are determined based upon the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of Facebook-Pixel, we would also like to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not harassing. Using Facebook-Pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes, in which we see which users were forwarded to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “Conversion”).
Facebook-Pixel is directly integrated by Facebook when accessing our website and can save a so-called cookie on your device. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while being logged in, the visit to our website shall be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous for us, so it does not provide us with any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. The data can therefore be used by Facebook for its own market research and advertising purposes. Furthermore, when using Facebook-Pixel, we use the additional function “expanded comparison”, in which data on the creation of target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) is transmitted to Facebook in an encrypted form.

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook‘s Privacy Policy. You can obtain special information and details on Facebook-Pixel and its functionality in the Help Area of Facebook. You can object to the collection by Facebook-Pixel and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. In order to set which types of advertisements are displayed to you within Facebook, you can view them by visiting Facebook’s set-up page and follow the information on the settings for use-based advertising. You can also object to the use of cookies that serve for reach measurement and advertising purposes using the Deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative. You can find additional opt-out options here:  

http://www.aboutads.info/choices
http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing lies in our legitimate interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer (art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
