Cookies

The Albrech & Cie. website Vermögensverwaltung AG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Albrech & Cie. Vermögensverwaltung AG provides the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Newsletter

Through the following information, we will inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, shipping and statistical evaluation procedures and your rights to object. By subscribing to the newsletter, you agree to its receipt and the corresponding procedures.

Newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising content will only be sent with the consent of the recipient or legal permission. The contents of the newsletter are decisive for the user’s consent, provided that they are specifically described when registering for the newsletter. The newsletters also contain information about our products as well as offers, promotions and our company.

Registration for our newsletter takes place using a double opt-in procedure. This means that after you register, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is important to ensure that no one can log in with someone else’s email address. These registrations are logged in order to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes logging the registration and confirmation times, the IP address and changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider.

Providing your email address is sufficient to register for the newsletter. If you are asked for your name, this will only be done for the purpose of addressing you personally in the newsletter.

The sending of the newsletter (and the subsequent measurement of success) is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a, Article 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 107 Paragraph 2 TKG. If consent is not required (based on our legitimate interests, e.g. in direct marketing), the dispatch and the measurement of success will take place in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 according to f. GDPR in conjunction with Section 107 Para. 2 and 3 TKG.

The registration process (based on our legitimate interests) is recorded in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. Our goal is to use a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that, on the one hand, serves our business interests, but on the other hand meets the expectations of users and allows us to provide evidence of consent.

Receipt of the newsletter can be canceled at any time. At the end of each newsletter there is a link through which you can cancel. We can store the unsubscribed email address for up to three years based on our legitimate interests in order to be able to prove that consent was once given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of defending against claims. However, it is possible to submit an individual request for deletion at any time. This can only be done if it is confirmed at the same time that consent was given at an earlier point in time.

CleverReach newsletter service

The newsletter is sent using the shipping service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. The shipping service provider’s data protection regulations can be found on the following website:  https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/ .

The shipping service provider is able to use the recipient’s data in pseudonymous form (without assigning it to a user) to optimize or improve its own services. Examples of this would be the technical optimization of shipping or the presentation of the newsletter. “CleverReach” does not use the recipients’ data to write to them or pass them on to third parties.

Based on our legitimate interests, according to Article 6 Paragraph 1lit. f. GDPR and the consent of the person concerned, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR, we use this processor.

Newsletter tracking

A “web beacon” is included in the newsletters. This is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved by our server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this process, technical information, the IP address and the time of access are collected.

The information obtained from this is used to technically improve the services using the technical data or the reading behavior of the target groups or the access locations, which can be determined by the IP address. It is also determined whether and when the newsletters are opened and which links are clicked by users. The information gained can now of course be used to monitor the individual user. However, our goal is rather to use the evaluations to recognize users’ reading habits and adapt the content to them.

If you wish to revoke tracking, this is unfortunately not possible separately. The entire newsletter must be canceled here.

Contact form function

The user’s details are used when contacting us (via contact form, email, telephone or via social media) to process the contact request and process it in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b. (as part of contractual/pre-contractual relationships) and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f.
