Transparency International New Zealand (TINZ) is using Constant Contact (constantcontact.com) to send emails like aforementioned newsletter. Constant Contact enables TINZ to segment the recipients of emails according to target groups before they are sent. This way, the contents of the emails can be adapted to the respective target group, so that the recipients receive the most relevant contents possible. The analysis following the dispatch is carried out via a so-called web beacon, which establishes a connection to the servers of Constant Contact when the email is opened and transmits various technical information such as the IP address, the browser used, or the operating system used. This allows us, for example, to track when you opened the email as well as which links you clicked on. The analysis helps TINZ to improve the technical aspects of email dispatch and to adapt the content of the emails even better to your interests and the interests of the readers in general.
