Our newsletter is sent by means of „MailChimp“, a platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The collected email addresses and other requested data such as surname and first name are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and analyse the newsletter on our behalf. However, MailChimp does not use this data to write to them itself or pass it on to third parties.
MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement „Privacy Shield“.
Furthermore, we have concluded a „Data Processing Agreement“ with MailChimp. This agreement obliges MailChimp to protect user data, to process it in accordance with the order and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp’s privacy policy here.
To subscribe to our newsletter, all you need to do is enter your e-mail address.
Ideally, we would also ask you to enter your first name and surname. This information is only used to personalise the newsletter.
The newsletters that we send via the MailChimp tool receive a so-called „web-beacon“. This is a file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Technical information such as information about the browser, IP address and time of retrieval is collected. This information is used to improve the service.
The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters were opened, when they were opened and which links were clicked. This information helps us to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content according to their interests.
Our newsletters contain links that refer to the MailChimp website.For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in email programmes). MailChimp’s privacy policy is also available on their website.
We expressly point out that cookies are used on the websites of MailChimp and that personal data is therefore collected by MailChimp, its partners and service providers. We have no influence on this data collection.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You can unsubscribe here. You will also find a link to unsubscribe at the end of each newsletter.
In accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we hereby inform you that your consent to receive the newsletter is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and Section 7 para. 2 no. 3 and para. 3 UWG. The use of the mailing service provider MailChimp, the implementation of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

To send the materials, it may be necessary to pass on your address data to companies that support us in this process. Beyond this, we do not pass on your personal data unless an authority may exceptionally request the data, e.g. for criminal prosecution or to avert danger. Once your request has been fully processed, your data will be blocked and deleted after expiry of the retention obligations under tax and commercial law.

We process and store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, in particular to fulfil agreements made with you. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject as the controller. This is particularly the case if we pursue our own legal claims against you due to a possible infringement of our trademark rights by you.
As soon as the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted.
If your personal data is processed by us, you are a „data subject“ within the meaning of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and you have the rights listed below vis-à-vis us as the controller responsible for processing your data. In accordance with our obligation under the EU GDPR, we inform you below about your rights also in relation to such uses and processing of your data that we do not carry out ourselves and do not have carried out by third parties, e.g. profiling.
You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from us:
You also have the right to request information from us as to whether the personal data concerning you that we have stored and/or collected will be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 EU GDPR in connection with the transfer.
You have a right to rectification and/or completion of your data vis-à-vis us as the data controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. In this case, we will make the necessary correction without delay.
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us as the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
You can demand that we, as the data controller, delete the personal data concerning you immediately; in this case, we are obliged to delete this data immediately if one or more of the following reasons apply or apply:
If we, as the controller responsible for processing your personal data, have made the personal data concerning you public and are therefore obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) EU GDPR, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform third parties responsible for data processing who process your personal data transmitted by us that you, as the data subject, have requested them to erase all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us as the controller of your personal data, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
As the controller responsible for processing your personal data, you have the right to be informed about these recipients.
Insofar as you have a right of access to us in accordance with the above, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us or that we have stored about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another data controller without hindrance from us as the controller to whom your personal data was originally provided, provided that
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of third parties must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
As the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data collected by us and/or stored by us, we will no longer process the personal data concerning you after you have exercised your right to object, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing of your personal data serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option of exercising your right to object in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing of your personal data, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in a. and c., we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on our part and to state your own position and to challenge the decision by you.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the provisions of the EU GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) EU GDPR forms the legal basis.
When processing your personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, Article 6(1)(b) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6(1)(f) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our organisation lies in the performance of our business activities. The legitimate interest of third parties who provide services for us lies in the performance of the activities contractually agreed between the respective third party and us.
Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the data is routinely deleted unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of a contract.
