The additional processing in clause 3 b) is carried out based on overriding interests of Lena Hoschek GmbH. We evaluate the efficiency and attractiveness of our newsletter from a technical perspective, in order in future only to send you those product recommendations that are of interest to you. Since no sensitive personal information is used to this end and, as a rule, evaluations are carried out solely on an aggregated, not on a personal level, the data processing constitutes a legitimate interest.
