At https://www.nova.eu/en/my-nova/, new NOVA products can be registered on a voluntary basis by means of the serial number, which enables the handling of warranty claims and ensures the best possible logging of repairs. The personal data (name, address, contact and communications information) collected through MyNOVA will be used exclusively for service processing in accordance with the customer order and will not be passed on to third parties without the customer's consent, nor will it be used for marketing measures such as the newsletter.

Mailchimp (email marketing service)
Our newsletter is distributed using Mailchimp, an email marketing service provided by Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The email addresses of the recipients of our newsletters, as well as their other data described in the context of this data protection notice, are stored on the servers of Mailchimp in the USA. Mailchimp uses this information to distribute the newsletters and produce statistics on our behalf. According to its own information, additionally Mailchimp may use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletters or for economic purposes in order to determine  which countries the recipients come from. However, Mailchimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them directly nor does it pass this on to third parties. We trust in the reliability, IT and data security of Mailchimp. Mailchimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with EU data protection regulations.You can read MailChimp’s privacy policy here. In accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applicable as of 25 May 2018, we inform you that the consents to the sending of e-mail addresses are based on GDPR, article  6, paragraph 1, point a,  GDPR article 7, as well as the German Fair Trade Practices Act (UWG) paragraph 2, point 3 and paragraph 3. The use of the email marketing service Mailchimp, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with GDPR, article 6, paragraph 1, point f. Our legitimate interest is to provide a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of our users. You can revoke your consent to our newsletter subscription (i.e cancel) at any time. This simultaneously revokes your consent to its dispatch via MailChimp and the statistical analyses. Unfortunately a separate cancellation of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical evaluation is not possible. You will find a link to cancel your subscription at the end of each newsletter.
