In order to process the data, you consent is obtained in the course of the registration process and reference is made to this Data Protection Declaration (Double-Opt-In). The data is used exclusively to send the newsletter.
If you have registered for the newsletter and have therefore declared your consent to your data being processed, then art. 6, para. 1, a GDPR is considered to be the legal basis in this regard. Your e-mail address is collected in order to deliver the newsletter. The collection of other personal data in the context of the registration procedure is used to prevent an abuse of the services or the e-mail address used. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its collection. Accordingly, your e-mail address is stored as long as your subscription to the newsletter remains active. You can terminate your subscription to the newsletter at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. It also enables withdrawal of consent to store the personal data that was collected during the registration procedure.
The newsletter is sent using "Sendy", a newsletter sending platform. "Sendy" uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ireland exclusively for sending the mails. (Amazon Web Services, Inc., 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, United States). You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://sendy.co/privacy-policy. The shipping service provider may use the recipients' data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
4.4 Contact form and e-mail contact
On our website, there is a contact form, which can be used to make contact with us electronically. If you use this option, then the data entered into the input screen is transferred to us and stored.

4.7 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, including the Google Analytics advertising features. Google Analytics is a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”; text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your usage of the website.
Google Analytics is exclusively deployed with activated IP anonymisation (so-called IP masking). This means that the IP address of the Google user is shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, e.g., upon technical failures in Europe, will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
In the IP anonymisation method used by Google, the full IP address is not at any point written on a harddrive because the full anonymisation occurs almost immediately after receiving the request in the main storage.
The IP address transferred from the user’s browser is not merged with other data from Google.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate the website usage, to compile reports on the website activities and in order provide further services connected to website usage and internet usage, in particular also functions for display advertisements and Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographic characteristics and interests.
If applicable, Google will also transfer this information to third parties if it is legally stipulated or if third parties are processing this data on behalf of Google. In this regard, this information is not under any circumstance personal data.
Data acquired though interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data of third party providers (e.g., age group or interest group) is used in the Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographic characteristics and interests.
You can prevent the storage cookies by way of a corresponding setting in your browser software. However, we inform you that in this case you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website.
Furthermore, you can prevent the data created by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) being sent to Google and you can also prevent Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in which is available at the following link:
Download and install Google browser plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

4.8 Google Tag Manager
Type and scope of processing
We use Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via one interface and allows us to control the precise integration of services on our website.
This allows us to flexibly integrate additional services to evaluate user access to our website.
Purpose and legal basis
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a. GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG.
We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. The data transfer to the USA takes place in accordance with Art. 45 Para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (EU-US DPF).
In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission (including US companies that are not certified according to the EU-US DPF), we have agreed other appropriate guarantees with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. These are - unless otherwise stated - standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. You can view a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE .
In addition, before such a third country transfer, we will obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 49 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a of GDPR, which you grant via the consent in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that with third country transfers, there may be risks that are unknown in detail (e.g. data processing by security authorities in the third country, the exact extent of which and the consequences for you of which we do not know, over which we have no influence and of which you may not be aware).
Storage period
We have no influence over the specific storage period of the processed data; it is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google Tag Manager: marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/.

Furthermore, you have a right to lodge a complaint with a competent data supervisory authority (art. 77 GDPR in connection with sec. 19 BDSG).

Please note, that the withdrawal only has an effect for the future. Processing that occurred before the withdrawal is not affected.

6. Do I have to provide my personal data?
In the course of our business relationship, you must provide such personal data that is necessary to commence and perform a business relationship and to meet the associated contractual obligations or such personal data that we are legally obligated to collect.

7. Is there automated decision-making?
No. Currently, we do not use a fully automated decision-making in accordance with art. 22 GDPR to establish and perform the business relationships. No “profiling” occurs.
