Our own content must be distinguished from content created by other providers, for which we cannot assume responsibility or ownership. We have no control over whether the linked website operators comply with the relevant privacy regulations. This Privacy Information therefore does not apply to websites of other providers, even if you view them via links on our website. Your attention is drawn to the privacy provisions of the other providers in each case. No liability on our part will be assumed for the content of third-party websites. Please advise us if you discover any relevant violations. We will inspect the links and remove them as appropriate.

Newsletter
On our website and via embedded frames in our social media sites, we offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter or download documents.
1. Which of your personal data is used by us?
To manage and send the newsletter, we process your email address and, if applicable, other information requested in the registration form, as well as the date and time of registration and confirmation. In addition, we collect and analyse data about your user behaviour, e. g. whether and, if so, when you read the newsletter and click on the links embedded therein. The data for analysing opening and click rates is collected exclusively in pseudonymised form, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, and it is not possible to establish a direct correlation to a particular person.
2. What are the sources of the data?
You enter your email address and, if applicable, other information during registration. To avoid errors, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure: after signing up, you will first receive an e-mail with a confirmation link and will only be added to the newsletter distribution list once you have confirmed your wish to subscribe to the newsletter. Other data, such as the web beacons or tracking pixels contained in the e-mails, are also collected from you by being automatically transmitted from your device to our system.
3. What do we process your data for on what legal basis?
We use the data to send you our newsletter with information about the RWE Group and to manage the subscriber base. In addition, we optimise our service based on the data about your usage behaviour in order to provide you with the topics that are of interest to you in an even more targeted and relevant way. The legal basis for this is the consent you grant during the registration process. We use the double opt-in procedure to verify your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in fulfilling the above-mentioned purposes, in particular our legal obligation of accountability.
4. To whom will your data be passed on?
If necessary, we share your data with other companies in our group. In addition, we use service providers for administration and mailing, who also receive your data in these cases. We have concluded data processing agreements with such service providers that meet the applicable data protection requirements.
5. How long will your data be stored?
We store your data for the duration of your newsletter subscription. After you have unsubscribed or downloaded the document, we store your consent data for a further 3 years for verification purposes.
6. Is there an obligation to provide your data?
There is no obligation to provide the data. However, without the data provided, we cannot send you a newsletter.
7. Right to withdraw your consent
You have the option at any time to withdraw your consent to receiving the newsletter and to the analysis of your usage behaviour. The easiest way to do this is to use the unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter.
