Our Email Subscription – SumoMe, Mail Chimp
For subscribing to our email updates/newsletters we require the user to enter their email address which will be solely used for sending email updates to the subscriber. The users can opt-out of our email subscriptions anytime by following the “unsubscribe” link that will be present in all the emails received from us.
This website uses SumoMe opt-in forms to collect the email addresses of the users who wish to subscribe. This information is collected only on user’s consent and is used only for sending newsletters. Apart from this SumoMe also collects the opt-in page, referral address, demographic, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP) and date/time stamp. This information is used only to analyze trends for website improvement and not used for any other purposes. Check out the privacy policy of SumoMe here.
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters.
MailChimp is a service that organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. The data you provide (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, will be stored on MailChimp servers.
MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.
We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.
If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send.
So, you may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp.
For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
