Newsletter
Visitors to the International Baptist Church Bremen’s website have the opportunity to subscribe to our organisation’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data processor can be found in the subscription form used for this purpose.
The International Baptist Chruch Bremen regularly sends newsletters to inform its friends and members about the organisation’s events and services provided. The data subject may only receive the newsletter if:
a) they have a valid email address, and
b) they register to receive the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address the first time it is entered by a data subject for the newsletter subscription, using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the e-mail address is the data subject who authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace (potential) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the data processor.
The personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be notified by e-mail if it is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or to update their subscription in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or technical changes. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is distributed to third parties, with the exception of a cloud-based service for newsletter management. Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent given to store the personal data provided for the newsletter subscription may be revoked at any time. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time in the link provided in every newsletter.
The newsletter management system is provided by MailChimp a service offered by the The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404 Atlanta, GA 30318. Further information about MailChimp’s privacy policy can be access here: http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
Newsletter Tracking
International Baptist Church Bremen’s newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis.
This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel, International Baptist Church Bremen can see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were opened by the data subject.
Personal data collected via the tracking pixels in newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the data processor in order to optimise the delivery of the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subjects. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent made via the double-opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data processor. Unsubscribing to the newsletter automatically indicates revocation to the International Baptist Church Bremen.
