This data allows an individual conclusion to be drawn about the newsletter recipient and is processed by Mailchimp to automatically generate statistics that show whether a specific recipient has opened a newsletter message.

MailChimp can also use this data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR itself due to its own legitimate interest in the needs-based design and optimization of the service and for market research purposes, for example to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them ourselves or to pass them on to third parties.
