Reference to address matching technology
Use of Deutsche Post AG’s address matching technology – your right to object
Our website uses Deutsche Post AG’s address matching technology to determine statistical parameters and to form target groups for advertising purposes (offline and online). For this measurement, your stored delivery or billing address is assigned by a commissioned service provider to an anonymous microcell of Deutsche Post Direkt GmbH (Ø 6.6 households), and this code is stored in encrypted form with another service provider (address matching).
The legal basis for this use of the address, in shared responsibility between us and Deutsche Post AG, is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter (f) GDPR. The address is deleted at the service provider’s end immediately after matching. It is therefore the website operator who is responsible for this initial processing step – the use of the stored address for the purpose of matching it against the microcell database. The same applies to the pixelization of the website described below and the forwarding of a user’s request to Deutsche Post AG for subsequent labeling using a cookie.
If you have given your consent, after you have accessed our website, an inquiry from the device used by you is initiated on a server operated by a service provider commissioned by Deutsche Post AG, which stores two cookies on the PC or other device used by you. This consent also includes the authorization to subsequently read the cookies stored by Deutsche Post AG and sync them with other providers’ cookies (cookie syncing a.k.a. cookie matching). To this end, a third-party provider’s cookie ID stored on your device is forwarded to Deutsche Post AG, assigned to the cookie ID issued by the latter and used to implement the purposes mentioned. As the website operator, we document the consent given on our website and provide it to Deutsche Post AG if required.
The cookies are used to help record you as a visitor to a website participating in the measurement. This information is then aggregated on the basis of the abovementioned anonymous microcell of Deutsche Post Direkt GmbH and can therefore no longer be assigned to your person.
The consent required includes the purposes listed below:
- Measurement of access to websites I have visited that are participating in Deutsche Post AG’s Consentric procedure, for anonymous inclusion in statistics;
- Measurement of access to websites I have visited that are participating in Deutsche Post AG’s Consentric procedure, in order to identify relevant anonymous microcells of Deutsche Post Direkt GmbH;
- Transfer of cookie IDs to partner companies for the purpose of target group formation for the transmission of online advertising. The cookie IDs used for this purpose were selected in advance as a relevant target group based on the indirectly assigned microcell;
- Match against cookies from other providers (cookie matching). A third-party provider’s cookie ID stored on my device may be forwarded to Deutsche Post AG, stored there as a unique cookie ID and used to implement the purposes mentioned above.
You can object to data processing as part of the procedure described or revoke the consent given at the following link:

Please note: we can only recognize you and assign your opt-out based on the cookie you have set. For that reason, the cookie remains set even after an opt-out.
If you have any further queries regarding the handling of personal data, and in particular if you wish to obtain information about processed personal data or assert additional rights, please contact the website operator first. Further information on data protection in the Consentric procedure mentioned here can be found at https://www.deutschepost.de/de/c/consentric/datenschutz.html.
The right to assert your rights as a data subject, also vis-à-vis Deutsche Post AG, remains unaffected. If you have any queries, please contact: consentric@deutschepost.de.
The procedure for labeling a device and assigning an ID to the relevant microcell of Deutsche Post Direkt GmbH was developed in accordance with statutory data protection requirements and was awarded the ADCERT Privacy Audit GmbH (www.adcert.eu) data protection seal of approval by virtue of its outstanding data protection compliance.
