Newsletter, Marketing Communications and Personalized Advertising

If you subscribe to our newsletter or marketing communications, we use your data to send you information about Atomic products, services, offers and events via the communication channels you have selected, in particular by email or SMS.

We may also use your data to display advertising tailored to your interests on digital platforms such as Google or Meta.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Electronic direct marketing communications are sent on the basis of your consent in accordance with Section 174 of the Austrian Telecommunications Act 2021 (TKG 2021).

What Data Do We Process?

Depending on the information you provide when subscribing and the information already linked to your Atomic profile, we may process in particular:

  • your name and contact details, in particular your email address and telephone number;
  • the communication channels you have
    selected;
  • interests and preferences provided by you;
  • information from your Atomic user profile;
  • information about your interactions with Atomic;
  • information about the delivery and use of our messages, in particular delivery, opens and clicks on links contained in messages;
  • information about your interactions with our products and offers;
  • information regarding the granting, modification and withdrawal of your consent.

We may combine this information in order to tailor marketing content and advertising more closely to your interests.

Newsletter Personalization

We aim to provide you with content and offers that are as relevant as possible. For this purpose, we may combine and analyze the data you provide, your interests, information from your user profile and your previous interactions with Atomic.

In particular, we may take into account which newsletters you open and which links and content within those newsletters you select.

Based on this information, newsletter content may be individually tailored to you. This includes, in particular, dynamic product recommendations and other content adapted to your interests.

The purpose of personalization is to make our marketing communications more relevant to you. It does not result in automated decisions that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.

Measurement of Opens and Clicks

Our emails may contain tracking technologies such as tracking pixels and individualized links. These technologies allow us, in particular, to determine whether a message has been opened and whether, and which, links contained in the message have been clicked.

This information is associated with your profile and used for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

In addition to personalization, we use this information to a limited extent to manage our communications. In particular, we may:

  • limit the frequency of communications;
  • identify when there has been no
    interaction with our messages for an extended period;
  • send reminder or re-engagement communications;
    and reduce or discontinue communications to recipients who remain inactive.

For example, a re-engagement communication may be triggered after a longer period during which no email open has been recorded.

Personalized Advertising on Google and Meta

With your consent, we may also use your contact details and information from your Atomic profile to display personalized advertising to you on platforms operated by Google and Meta.

For this purpose, we may in particular use services such as Google Customer Match and Meta Custom Audiences.

Identifiers such as your email address or telephone number may be transferred to the respective platform provider and matched against existing user accounts. Where technically provided for, such data is transferred using cryptographic hashing.

A successful match may allow us, in particular, to:

  • recognize existing Atomic customers or newsletter recipients on the respective platforms;
  • display Atomic advertising tailored to their interests;
  • create target audiences for advertising campaigns;
  • exclude certain individuals from specific advertising campaigns; and
  • improve the relevance and effectiveness of our advertising.

For these purposes, information from your Atomic profile, your interests and your interactions with Atomic may also be taken into account.

For advertising on Google platforms, we may in particular use Google Customer Match, provided by Google Ireland Limited.

For advertising on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, we may in particular use Meta Custom Audiences, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited.
