The recipient must either click/check a box or otherwise similarly declare his/her clear agreement. This declaration may not form part of any other declarations (e.g. consent to general terms and conditions of business, general data protection provisions) and may only relate to advertising.
  • If consent is not granted in writing or electronically, it requires written confirmation from the address holder.
  • The consent of minors is only valid if:
    • the minor has reached the age of 16 years, or the legal guardians have given consent: If you collect any personal information pertaining to a minor and store such information within your Emailchef account, you represent and warrant that you have obtained valid consent for such activities according to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the minor lives.
  • The option to revoke consent at any time with future effect must be clearly and explicitly indicated at the time of obtaining consent.

In accordance with our sender policy and rules, you must follow this delivery criteria:

  • The contracting entity for a business-related mail must be clearly identifiable. In every email sent, an easily recognizable legal notice must be contained as full text. The legal notice must contain the following details:
    • The name and address where the sender is established; for legal entities also the legal structure, the commercial register, the association register, partnership register or the register of cooperatives in which they are recorded and the applicable register number;

    • The sender and the commercial nature of the message may not be obfuscated or concealed in the header and subject line of the email.

    • When using email addresses that the sender or their customer have acquired from third parties, the sender and/or their customer are obliged, prior to carrying out advertising activities, to ensure that only those recipients are actually contacted who have granted consent under the terms of these Admission Criteria. This consent has to refer not only to mailing by a third party but also by the sender and/or their customer

The companies, for which the address data was generated, were transparently and individually named with details of the sector; the user was easily and clearly able to be aware of the list of companies and
the number of companies and/or persons for which the address data was collected; is reduced to an extent that excludes forwarding user data to a disproportionately large number of third parties; and permits the user to easily grasp the significance and scope of their consent and to easily monitor the lawful handling of their data.
