If you would like to receive newsletters from valentinagiannella.com, I require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are not a robot. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. I use this data only for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based only on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO Germany, GDPR EU). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

The data you provide with to receive the newsletter will be stored by me or by the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to exist. I reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from my newsletter distribution list at my own discretion within our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (German Privacy Law).

I send newsletters via Mailerlite.

MailerLite is a service which, among other things, can organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters is sent via MailerlLite’s servers so that MailerlLite processes your newsletter-related data.

Data analysis. I can analyse newsletter campaigns. For example, I can see whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked on particularly often.

I can also see whether certain previously defined actions were carried out after opening / clicking (conversion rate). For example, I can see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.

MailerlLite also enables to subdivide (“cluster”) the newsletter recipients according to various categories. For example, newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to age, gender, or place of residence. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups. If you do not want MailPoet to analyse your newsletter, you must unsubscribe.

MailerlLite is daveloped and based in Europe, fully GDPR compliant. You cen find its privacy terms here: MailerlLite.

There are no social media plugins integrated on this website that directly load data from the servers of the social media providers concerned. I will link to social media accounts and individual posts that I share, but not buttons that collect your data. This is a website where privacy is paramount.
