NEWSLETTER

By giving your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter by which we will inform you of our current offers.

 We use the so-called single-opt-in process for subscribing to the newsletter.

To send a newsletter, the only information we are required to have is your e-mail address. The provision of additional specifically designated information is voluntary and shall be used for the purpose of personalized marketing. After confirmation, we will store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for the above is Article 6, paragraph   1. a) of the General Regulation, i.e. consent.

You are entitled to withdraw your consent to send the newsletter and unsubscribe at any time. You can withdraw your consent by clicking on the link available in each newsletter, via this form on the webpage, by sending an e-mail to  info@np-plitvicka-jezera.hr  or by sending a notice to the contacts listed in the credits.

Please note that, if we send a newsletter, we will analyze how you use it. For the purpose of conducting this analysis, the submitted e-mails contain a so-called web beacon, i.e. a tracking pixel, which are single-pixel image files stored on our webpage. For the purpose of analysis, we link the data referred to in Article 3 and the web beacon to your e-mail address and individual identification (ID).

Such identification (ID) is also contained in the link provided in the newsletter. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile in order to adapt the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we collect information during the time you are reading our newsletter and monitor which links you clicked on, and from this we draw conclusions about your personal interests. We link the data in question to your actions on our webpage.

Such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated image display in your e-mail client by default. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed in its entirety and you may not be able to use all the features. If you manually enable image display, the abovementioned tracking shall take place.

The data is stored exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
