Newsletter subscription via registration on our website

On our website you can register to receive a newsletter. Your email address and your subscription decision will be processed by us for this purpose.

To receive our newsletter, you have to enter your email address. We store it exclusively in order to be able to send you the newsletter. If, in addition to your e‑​mail address, you provide us with information about the university you are visiting when subscribing to the “redeker4students” newsletter, we process this information exclusively in order to draw your attention to events taking place in the region of the university in question in this newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of your email address and, if applicable, the information about the university you attended is Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) DSGVO.

Registration to our newsletter takes place via a so‑​called “double opt‑​in mechanism”. After entering your email address we will send an email containing a confirmation link (“double opt‑​in”). If no confirmation is received within 48 hours, the registration will be automatically deleted. If you click the link of the confirmation email, we will save your email address until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The legal basis for these proceedings is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. To prevent misuse of your data, we also store the time of your registration and your IP address. In addition, for technical and organizational reasons, the time of the last change to your data record, the time of giving consent and the status of a completed double opt in are processed. This serves the purpose of fulfilling our data protection accountability obligations. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

You have the right to withdraw your consent any time. You can declare your withdrawal by clicking the link provided in every newsletter. By this, you can also view and change your existing newsletter settings. You can also unsubscribe by sending an email to unsubscribe@redeker.de. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We process your data only as long as you receive the newsletter. As soon as you unsubscribe, we will immediately delete your email address, unless there are any storage obligations to the contrary.Contacting us
