E-mail marketing (mailings)

In order to optimally cater to your needs and interests, your e-mail address will be used by different companies from the TRUMPF Group for the purposes of advertising. We use the TRUMPF newsletter and other mailings to inform you about us and our offers. To manage our e-mail marketing efficiently, your data is used within the corporation.

If you register via our website, we will verify your identity by means of a confirmation e-mail in a double-opt-in process.

Subscription to mailings can be modified at any time, or cancelled with immediate effect without giving a reason. To do this, please click on the "personal profile" link which is located at the end of the mailing, or send an e-mail to marketing@uk.trumpf.com. In your personal profile, you can cancel the subscription entirely, or modify and supplement the information you have provided. Additionally, subscriptions to individual areas of interest can be edited or deselected.

We use the tool Episerver Campaign (Episerver GmbH, Wallstraße 16, 10179 Berlin, Germany) for our e-mail processes. By setting a tracking pixel when you open our e-mails, information which allows us to evaluate the user behaviour (opening the e-mail, e-mail address, time, IP address) is retrieved. The links in our e-mails are designed in such a way that we can trace whether they have been clicked on. Using this information we can adapt our offers to better suit your interests.
