How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Newsletter subscription & analysis of newsletter use

a) Subscription
If you subscribe to our email newsletter mailing list, we use your Personal Data – submitted by you with your consent – for sending email newsletters to you regularly in order to keep you updated e.g. on products, events, webinars and so on.

You need to submit your email address and you may be asked to provide general information about your company, industry, area of interest, and location. We may also process details in relation to newsletters sent, for example recipients and time of sending.

We may share your Personal Data with third party agencies who manage our CRM databases for marketing purposes only. We do not sell your Personal Data or share it for reasons outside of our (Germfree) own sales and marketing purposes.

You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing from our email newsletter mailing list, without reason and with immediate effect. You can unsubscribe via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our email newsletters, or by using our contact form, or by sending an email to info@germfree.com.

We will process and retain your Personal Data for this purpose until you unsubscribe. We will then move your Personal Data to a suppression list to make sure you will not be contacted via our newsletter again; your Personal Data will not be used for any other purpose.

b) Analysis of newsletter use
We continuously seek to improve our services and communications. With this in mind, we may carry out an evaluation of email newsletters we send to you, e.g. whether the submitted email addresses are available, whether the newsletter has been opened, which links in the newsletters have been used and whether there is any response or return ((automatic) reply, error message etc.). The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest to understand how individuals interact with our newsletters to enable us to improve our services.
