The security of personal data such as names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses is one of our key concerns. For this reason, we carry out all our online activities in accordance with data protection and data security laws. In the following, you will learn about which information we collect where necessary and how we treat said information.
Personal data is defined as all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as their real name, their address, their telephone number and their date of birth.
Because this data enjoys special protection, we only collect it if it is technically necessary. In accordance with our duties, we will explain in the following which information we collect while you visit our website and how this information is used.
The legal basis for data processing is provided by Art. 6 (1) Clause 1 (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legitimate interest stems from the data collection purposes listed above. In no instance do we use the collected data for identifying you as a person.
If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address and information from you that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address / that its owner agrees to receiving the newsletter. Provided that you have given your express consent under Art. 6 (1) Clause 1 (a) GDPR, we use your email address to regularly send you our newsletter. The valid email address is only used to send the newsletter and is not passed on to any third parties.
We only use the data collected in our newsletter’s registration mask to send our newsletter, where we provide information about all of our services. Once you have registered, we will send you a confirmation email containing a link that you must click on to complete the registration process for our newsletter (double opt-in).
When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address and the date of registration. The only purpose that saving this information serves is to provide proof in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorised party.
You can, at any time, revoke the consent you have given us to save your data and email address and to use them to send the newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time, for example by clicking on a link in the newsletter itself or in your profile area, or by sending a message to the points of contact named above.
The newsletter is distributed through MailChimp, a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The email addresses of our newsletter subscribers as well as other data of theirs described within the scope of this notice are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the United States. Acting on our behalf, MailChimp uses this information to distribute and analyse the newsletter. Based on its own information, MailChimp may also use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation and presentation of the newsletter or for business purposes to determine which countries subscribers are from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter subscribers to write to them itself, nor does it share the data with third parties.
The newsletter contains what is known as a web beacon, which is a file the size of a pixel that MailChimp’s server retrieves when the newsletter is opened. As part of the retrieval process, technical information about such things as the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the visit, is first collected. This information is then used for making technical improvements to services by means of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on where they accessed the newsletter from (which can be ascertained via the IP address) or access times.
The statistical data collected also includes whether the newsletters are opened, when and which links readers click on. While it is technically possible to match this information with individual newsletter subscribers, it is not our intention or that of MailChimp to monitor individual users. Rather, the analyses serve to help us understand our users’ reading habits and tailor our content to them or to send differing content in line with our users’ interests.
We provide you with the opportunity to contact us with questions of any kind using a form that is available on the website. In order to use this form, it is necessary for users to enter a valid email address so that we know who the enquiry is from and can respond to it. Other information may be provided voluntarily.
Data processing for the purpose of establishing contact with us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) Clause 1 (a) GDPR based on your consent, which you provide voluntarily.
The personal data that we collect in relation to the use of this contact form is automatically deleted once your enquiry has been addressed.
Your personal data is not transmitted to third parties for any purposes other than those listed below.

If you visit specific pages of our website, and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Facebook can recognize that someone has clicked the ad, was redirected to our site, and has carried out an action. The information gathered by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. We get the total number of users who clicked on the ad and who were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
