    (3) Passwords will be stored, encrypted with current technology.

    (4) After sending the registration form, the visitor will receive a confirmation e-mail, a so-called “Double Opt-In” e-mail or “DOI” for short. Only after clicking the confirmation link in the DOI e-mail, does the membership take form.

    (5) With creation of the membership, the visitor agrees to the receipt of e-mails from GBonus.

  5. § 4 Campaigns and shops

    (1) Campaigns as well as shops are offers from GBonus’s advertising partners. Members can make purchases in the shops or participate in campaigns; these can be product tests, registration for newsletters or playing online games. In exchange, the member is offered remuneration.

    (1) The remuneration occurs after completion of an activity established for every campaign or every shop.
