Newsletter
To subscribe to the free newsletter offered on our website, you can register using our form. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure. A confirmation email will first be sent to the email address you have provided, asking you to confirm your registration. The registration only becomes effective when you click on the activation link contained in the confirmation e-mail. We use the data you send us exclusively for sending the newsletter, which may contain information (news, new products and special promotions) or offers. By submitting the data you have entered, you consent to the data processing and confirm our privacy policy.
We use our own Campus Mails software to send our newsletter. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on our self-hosted servers in Germany.
Legal basis
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, we may store your e-mail address in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time or revoke your consent at any time by sending an email to info@brain-appeal.com. Your data will be deleted within 2 months after you stop receiving the newsletter, provided that the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
