8. Newsletter and email delivery through Klaviyo
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address to send information about products and promotions. Registration uses double opt-in: after signing up, you receive a confirmation email and are subscribed only after clicking its confirmation link.
The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in each email or by contacting support@alpenwarm.de. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
We use Klaviyo to send the newsletter. The provider is Klaviyo, Inc., 125 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02110, USA. On our behalf, Klaviyo processes your email address, other details you provide, information about how you use our emails—including opens and link clicks—and shop activity such as viewed products and abandoned carts. This helps us tailor newsletters to your interests and measure their effectiveness.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Klaviyo under Article 28 GDPR. Klaviyo also processes data in the United States. We rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, additionally, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR.
Your data remains stored with Klaviyo until you unsubscribe. We then delete it or add it to a suppression list so that you receive no further emails. More information is available in Klaviyo's privacy notice at klaviyo.com/legal/privacy-notice.

Provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.
The Meta Pixel records the pages you visit and actions you take in our shop, such as viewing a product, adding it to your cart, or completing an order.

We use this to measure advertising performance and show relevant advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
Meta also processes the data for its own purposes. We and Meta are joint controllers under Article 26 GDPR for collection and transmission; Meta is solely responsible for subsequent processing. Transfers to the United States may occur and rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses. Data is generally retained for up to 24 months.
