NEWSLETTER

On our website we offer you the possibility to register for our newsletter. In order to ensure that no mistakes have been made when entering the email address, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure: After you have entered your email address in the registration field, we will send you a confirmation link. Only when you click on this confirmation link will your email address be added to our distribution list. At this point, the processing of the data you provide when you register for the newsletter is based solely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO). You can revoke your consent thus declared at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send a short note by email to the email address specified under 2. or click on the "unsubscribe" button at the end of each newsletter. We would like to point out that when we send out the newsletter, we measure its success and evaluate your user behavior. For this evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels. These are stored on our servers and provide us with information about when and how you access them. For the evaluations, we link the above-mentioned data and the web beacons with your e-mail address. We collect basic information such as opening rate as well as information about when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and infer your personal interests from this. If you do not wish to have this kind of usage data collected, you can deactivate the display of images by default in your e-mail program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed to you in full and you may not be able to use all the functions. If you display the images manually, the tracking mentioned above will take place. In addition, we use other information that we collect about you when you use STIHL services (e.g. when you purchase our products, register a device or use various applications) to personalize our newsletter. We use this data to tailor the content of our newsletter to your individual interests and needs in the best possible way. The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a DSGVO, which you give by subscribing to our newsletter. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing from our newsletter by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" button.
