ANTI-SPAM POLICY

1. DEFINITION OF SPAM

Spam is unsolicited (email) communications for direct marketing (mainly sent in bulk) without the subscribers’ prior consent.

2. ZERO-TOLERANCE SPAM POLICY

We do not send out unsolicited email communication unless the individual subscriber has obtained prior explicit permission.

We operate our email address database utilizing a double opt-in process via MailChimp email services.

If a recipient of double opt-in (confirmation/permission) emails does not respond, we do not send emails to such a recipient.

Our email communication via Mailchimp services includes accurate transmission data (i.e., clear identification of the sender and originating domain in the email header), contact details (i.e., valid reply-to email address), a valid physical address, and visible and non-misleading described unsubscribe/opt-out links at the bottom of every email message.

We actively maintain and update in due time contact details to ensure that they are up-to-date, complete, comprehensive, and accurate.

We are not using misleading and deceptive email subjects and texts.

We have zero-tolerance for illegal and vulgar content.

We are actively managing and processing received unsubscribe requests in due time.

We are not utilizing email harvesting and do not use harvested email address lists and databases.

We are not using purchased, loaned, or rented email address lists and databases.

We are not collecting email addresses from the web.

3.1. NEWSLETTER DATA

If you would like to receive our market risk solutions newsletters, we require a valid email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected voluntarily. We only use this data to send the requested information and not pass it on to third parties.

Therefore, we will process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g., through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

When registering for the newsletter, the data will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data are deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member’s area) remain unaffected.
