If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to guarantee stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Page 1 lit. f DS-GVO):
3.2 In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website.

4.1 With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, in which we inform you about analyses of current EU proposals and news about the work of the cep.
4.2 To subscribe to our newsletter, we use a double opt-in process. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we will ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted. In addition, we save the IP addresses you use and the dates of your registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

4.5 The newsletter is sent via "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 e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients are stored on servers of MailChimp in the US. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf within the meaning of Art. 28 DS-GVO. Furthermore, MailChimp may use this information for its own information to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and display of the newsletters or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, according to its own information MailChimp does not generally use the data of our newsletter recipients in order to pass them on to third parties.
You can find Mailchimp's Privacy Policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.
The newsletters contains a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. These data are used for the purpose of the improvement of the product. For example, the reading behaviour, the retrieval location and the access time can be determined. In addition, it is recorded whether the newsletter was opened, when it was opened and which links to other pages from the newsletter were clicked on.
Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. It is, however, neither our aim nor that of MailChimp to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
On the website of MailChimp cookies are used and thus personal data are processed by MailChimp, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). A newsletter may also contain links to the pages of MailChimp. We have no influence on this data processing. Additional information can be found in MailChimp's privacy policy.
The legal basis for the use of MailChimp is Art. 6 Para. 1 Page 1 lit. a DS-GVO. With revocation of the consent according to 4.4, the use of MailChimp is also cancelled.
