Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.

We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the «Unsubscribe» link in the newsletter.

Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from registering with someone else's email address.

Newsletter subscriptions are logged in order to be able to verify the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Any changes to your data stored with MailChimp are also logged.

MailChimp
The newsletter is sent via MailChimp, a newsletter distribution platform provided by the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as other data described in this notice, are stored on MailChimp's servers in the United States. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp may use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimisation of the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine the countries from which the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement «Privacy Shield» and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection requirements. Furthermore, we have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect our users' data, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its privacy policy and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here.

Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA («Facebook») to measure conversions.
