The use of social media is your own responsibility. You may choose to share information of our Website via social media. This means that the information you share, with name and preferences, shall be visible to visitors of your personal pages. Therefore, we advise you to carefully read the privacy policies of the social media parties as these are applicable to the processing of your Personal Data by these parties.

4.    Newsletters

On our Website users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our digital newsletters. We inform our customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about company offers or news. If you subscribe to newsletters of LMS, you explicitly give permission to collect your e-mail address and surname.

Our newsletter may only be received by you if you have a valid e-mail address and if you register yourself for the newsletter shipping.

LMS uses the double opt-in procedure: a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you registered, for legal reasons. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the Data Subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we may also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by your browser and used by you at the time of the registration, your country or region, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary to provide legislative guarantees for newsletter registration and to understand the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address later, and it therefore serves the aim of our legal protection.

The PersonalData collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances.

The consent to the storage of Personal Data, which you have given for sending the newsletter, may be withdrawn at any time. For the withdrawal of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our Website, or by communicating this to ourDPO.
