8) Use of customer data for direct marketing

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible mentioned above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Use upon first use of the app on their device. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

ShopSync does not store or retain any data transferred this way after synchronization. All information synchronized between Shopify and Mailchimp is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, and all transferred information remains encrypted during the synchronization process.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
