On the Redstone Management GmbH website users are given the opportunity tosubscribe to our company newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to theperson responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter can be seen fromthe request template used for this purpose.
With the following information, we would like to inform you about the contents ofour newsletter as well as the registration, delivery and statistical evaluationprocedure and your rights of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, youagree to receive it and to the described procedures.
5.1 Content of the Newsletter
We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containingadvertising information (hereinafter “newsletters”) only with the consent ofthe recipients or with a legal permission. If, in the course of registering forthe newsletter, its contents are specifically described, they are decisive forthe consent of the users.
5.2 Use of Newsletter Delivery Provider MailChimp
The newsletters are sent via MailChimp, a newsletter delivery platform of theUS provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta,GA 30308, USA.
The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other datadescribed in this notice, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA.MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on ourbehalf. Furthermore MailChimp may use this data according to its owninformation to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technicaloptimization of sending and presentation of newsletters or for economicpurposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However,MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact themitself or pass them on to third parties.
We trust in the reliability and the IT- and data security of MailChimp.MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement “PrivacyShield” and thereby commits to comply with the EU data protection regulations.Furthermore, we have concluded a “Data-Processing-Agreement” with MailChimp.This is a contract in which MailChimp commits to protect the data of our users,to process it according to its data protection regulations on our behalf andespecially not to pass it on to third parties. The privacy policy of MailChimpcan be viewed here.
5.3 Double-Opt-In and Logging
The registration to our newsletter is done in a so-called double opt-inprocedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail askingyou to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobodycan register someone else’s e-mail address.
The newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to prove theregistration process according to the legal requirements. This includes thestorage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address.Changes to your data stored with MailChimp are also logged.
5.4 Registration Data
To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address.
5.5 Statistical Survey and Analyses
The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file whichis retrieved from the server of MailChimp when the newsletter is opened. In thecontext of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about thebrowser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval arecollected. This information is used for the technical improvement of theservices based on the technical data or the target groups and their readingbehaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by meansof the IP address) or the access times.
Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened,when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, thisinformation can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it isneither our nor MailChimp’s intention to observe individual users. Theevaluations rather help us understand the reading habits of our users and toadapt our contents to them or to send different content according to theinterests of our users.
5.6 Online Access and Data Management
There are cases where we direct the newsletter recipients to the web pages ofMailChimp. E.g. our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletterrecipients can retrieve the newsletters online (e.g. in case of displayproblems in the email program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can correcttheir data, e.g. the e-mail address, afterwards. Also the privacy policy ofMailChimp is only available on their site.
In this context we would like to point out that on the websites of MailChimpcookies are used and therefore personal data is processed by MailChimp, itspartners and used service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have noinfluence on this data collection. Further information can be found in theprivacy policy of MailChimp.

Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which isoperated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebookplug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the informationtechnology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by therespective Facebook component to download a display of the correspondingFacebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-insis available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Aspart of this technical process, Facebook is informed which specific subpage ofour website is visited by the person concerned.
If the person concerned is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebookrecognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned isvisiting each time the person concerned calls up our website and for the entireduration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by theFacebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook accountof the person concerned. If the person concerned clicks one of the Facebookbuttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if theperson concerned makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to theperson’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subjecthas visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at thesame time when he or she accesses our website; this occurs regardless ofwhether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not.

The person responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analyticscomponent (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is aweb analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluationof data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a webanalysis service collects data about which website a person concerned came to awebsite from (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website wereaccessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis ismainly used to optimize an internet page and for cost-benefit analysis ofinternet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis viaGoogle Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internetconnection of the person concerned is shortened by Google and made anonymous ifthe access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Unionor from another state that is a party to the Agreement on the European EconomicArea.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow ofvisitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data andinformation obtained to evaluate the use of our website in order to compileonline reports for us which show the activities on our website and to providefurther services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of theperson concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By settingthe cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time oneof the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the personresponsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has beenintegrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the information technologysystem of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respectiveGoogle Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of onlineanalysis. In the course of this technical process, Google receives knowledge ofpersonal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Googleuses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks andsubsequently to enable commission settlements. The cookie is used to store personalinformation, such as the time of access, the location from which access wasmade and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Eachtime our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address ofthe Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Googlein the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in theUnited States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected viathe technical process to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, asdescribed above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in theInternet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google fromsetting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned.In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at anytime via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to and prevent thecollection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use ofthis website and the processing of such data by Google. For this purpose, theperson concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the linkhttps://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs GoogleAnalytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websitesmay be transmitted to Google Analytics.

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processingoperations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. Ifthe processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contractto which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, withprocessing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision ofanother service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. bDS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary forthe implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases ofenquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legalobligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example tofulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. Inrare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect thevital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would bethe case, for example, if a visitor to our company was injured and his or hername, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to bedisclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would thenbe based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, processing operations could bebased on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered byany of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing isnecessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a thirdparty, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the datasubject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processingoperations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by theEuropean legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimateinterest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller(Recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).
1. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a thirdparty
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, ourlegitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit ofthe well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
2. How long personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respectivelegal retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data isroutinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment ofthe contract or the initiation of a contract.
1. Legal or contractual provisions making the personal data available;necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject toprovide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partlyrequired by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractualregulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may benecessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us withpersonal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, theperson concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our companyconcludes a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data wouldmean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Beforethe person concerned makes personal data available, he or she must contact oneof our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-casebasis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contractor is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is anobligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be ifthe personal data were not provided.
