When the use of external services is enabled, only data needed for the agreed functionality may be sent to the external service provider. This allows the external service provider to process and analyze the data according to the privacy policy of the external service and/or any DPA with that service provider.

This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on these technologies, TNG might see if and when a newsletter was opened and which links have been clicked. The tracking technologies used by Mailchimp are detailed in Mailchimp's Privacy Policy.
e. TNG provides an option to the End User to opt-out of any e-mail communication unless TNG is legally required to inform the End User.
