If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO, we will use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis. To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide an e-mail address.

So-called web beacons (item 4) are used to send the newsletter. These enable us to analyse the success of the newsletter on the basis of key figures such as clicked links and to optimise our offer through the knowledge gained in this way. Your data will only be passed on to third parties for the technical processing of the newsletter dispatch via a service provider working in compliance with data protection regulations, who makes the dispatch and analysis possible for us.

- In order to accept, process and execute your order, your data will be forwarded to service providers, such as the delivery company, if necessary. We only forward the personal data that is required for delivery (name and address of the recipient). If you give us your consent during the ordering process, we will also forward your e-mail address to the delivery service provider so that they can offer you additional services (e.g. delivery notification, selection of a different delivery date or storage location). Your consent is not required for the conclusion of the contract and is valid until revoked, which you can declare at any time with effect for the future, e.g. by e-mail to service@unger-fashion.com.

Except in the case of payment by purchase on account, Unger has no knowledge or access to the bank and credit card data. The processing is carried out exclusively by the corresponding service provider.

For this process, we work together with Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, Hammfelddamm 13, 41460 Neuss, from whom we receive the data required for this purpose.
