Only when you click on this confirmation link will your email address be added to our mailing list. Your electronic contact details are processed at this point solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR). By registering, you consent to us collecting and processing the customer master data and information on purchasing behavior stored in your customer account. Based on this information, we will send you personalized advertising in the form of a newsletter.

The newsletter is sent as part of processing on our behalf by a service provider to whom we pass on your e-mail address for this purpose. We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when the newsletter is sent. We use tracking pixels to record information on the number of opens and clicks on newsletter issues as standard. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. We provide you with a corresponding link at the end of each advertising email. You can also contact us at the following email address: hey@windandvibes.com to request information about or to have your data deleted.

Your revocation does not affect the legality of the processing of your data for the respective purpose based on your consent until the revocation. Postal advertising and your right of objection We also reserve the right to use your first and last name and your postal address for our own advertising purposes, e.g. to send you interesting offers and information about our products by post.
