You have the possibility to subscribe to our newsletter through our website. This requires registration. As part of the registration process, you must supply your e-mail address. This information is compulsory for data processing (mailing the newsletter).
You may also supply further information (surname, first name, areas of interest), but this is not compulsory. We process this data exclusively to personalise the information and offers that we send to you and to align them better with your interests.
By registering, you give us permission to process the information supplied in order to send the newsletter regularly to the address you provided, for statistical analysis of user behaviour, and to optimise the newsletter. This consent constitutes our legal basis for processing your e-mail address and other information as specified in art. 13 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 let. a GDPR.
You thereby also authorise us to commission third parties to carry out technical processing of advertising measures and authorise us to pass on your data for this purpose.
At the end of every newsletter is a link that allows you to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. As you unsubscribe, you have the option of letting us know your reason. Once you have unsubscribed, your personal data is deleted. Further processing shall take place only in an anonymised form to help us optimise our newsletter.
We expressly draw your attention to the data analyses in connection with the distribution of the newsletter (see Section 8 below).
To send out our newsletter, we use e-mail marketing services supplied by third parties. Our newsletter may therefore contain a so-called web beacon (tracking pixel) or similar technical tool. A web beacon is an invisible graphic image measuring 1×1 pixel that is associated with the user ID of the corresponding newsletter subscriber.
The use of such services allows us to determine if the e-mails containing our newsletter have been opened or not. These tools can also help record and evaluate the click-through behaviour of the newsletter recipient. We use these data for statistical purposes and to optimise our newsletter in terms of content and structure. This enables us to tailor the information and offers in our newsletter better to the individual interests of each recipient. The tracking pixel is deleted when you delete the newsletter.
To prevent tracking pixels from being included in our newsletters, please set your e-mail programme so that no HTML is displayed in messages.
