Newsletter Tracking

The herFinancialFreedom newsletters utilize what are known as counting pixels. A counting pixel is a small graphic element embedded within emails sent in HTML format. Its purpose is to facilitate log file recording and analysis, allowing for statistical assessment of the success or effectiveness of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded counting pixel, herFinancialFreedom is able to ascertain whether an email has been opened by an individual and identify which links within the email have been accessed by that individual.

Any personal data gathered through the counting pixels embedded in our newsletters is stored and analyzed by the data controller. This is done to enhance the distribution of newsletters and to tailor the content of future newsletters more precisely to the preferences of the recipient. Importantly, this personal data is not shared with any third parties. Individuals whose data is collected have the right to withdraw their previously provided consent through the double opt-in process at any time. Upon such withdrawal, the data controller will proceed to delete this personal data. Furthermore, opting out of newsletter reception is automatically regarded as a withdrawal of consent by herFinancialFreedom.

​

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consent permitted for processing is revoked or other permits are no longer available (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to exist or is not necessary for the purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is limited to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies e.g. for data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons or their storage for assertion, Exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person is required. Our data protection information can also contain further information on the storage and deletion of data that are of primary importance for the respective processing.

​

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the security of your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Use of cookies

Cookies are small text files or other memory notes that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. E.g. to save the login status in a user account, a shopping cart content in an e-shop, the called up content or used functions of an online offer. Cookies can also be used for different purposes, e.g. for the functionality, security and convenience of online offers as well as the creation of analyzes of the flow of visitors. We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, unless this is not required by law. In particular, consent is not necessary if it is absolutely necessary to store and read out the information, including cookies, in order to provide the users with service they expressly request (i.e. our online offer). The revocable consent is clearly communicated to the users and contains the information on the respective use of cookies. Information on data protection legal bases: The data protection legal basis on which we process users' personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If the users consent, the legal basis for processing your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in a business operation of our online offer and improvement of its usability) or, if this is done within the scope of fulfilling our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. For what purposes we process cookies, We will clarify this in the course of this data protection declaration or as part of our consent and processing processes.

Storage duration: The following types of cookies are distinguished in terms of storage duration:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session or session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and has closed his end device (e.g. browser or mobile application).

  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device has been closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the data of the users collected with the help of cookies can be used to measure the range. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage period of cookies (e.g. B. as part of obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.

Users can revoke the consent they have given at any time and also file an objection to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements. Users can also explain their objection via the settings of their browser, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (although this may also limit the functionality of our online services). 

​

Processing of cookie data based on consent

We use a method for cookie consent management, within the framework of which the consent of the user in the use of cookies, or. the processing and providers mentioned in the context of the cookie consent management process can be obtained and managed and revoked by the users. The declaration of consent is saved in order not to have to repeat its query again and to be able to prove the consent in accordance with the legal obligation. The storage can be carried out on the server side and / or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or his device. Subject to individual information on the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of the storage of the consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is formed and, at the time of consent, information on the scope of consent as well as the browser, system and device used.
