If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
If you send us inquiries via email or contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided and your IP address, will be processed and stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions.

On the website, users have the option of subscribing to our newsletter. By subscribing, you agree to permit us to use your personal data to send you the newsletter. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information.
The registration for our newsletter is carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other people's email addresses.
Newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to prove that the registration process has been carried out in compliance with legal requirements. Data stored includes the registration itself and confirmation time.
Newsletters are sent using Mailjet SAS, a cloud-based email service provider from Sinch Email. Sinch's developer and email business unit includes the Mailgun, Mailjet, Email on Acid, and InboxReady brands. The processing explained in this privacy policy may be carried out by Sinch Email or other data controllers in the Sinch group. The office and postal address of Mailjet SAS (Global Headquarters) is located at 4 Rue Jules Lefebvre, 75009 Paris, France.
The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored in Mailjet's secure data centers (Google Cloud Platform) in Frankfurt (Germany) and Saint-Ghislain (Belgium), which are located exclusively within the European Union. Mailjet uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, Mailjet may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g., for the technical optimization of email and presentation of newsletters, or for economic purposes, such as determining which countries the recipients reside in. However, Mailjet does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them on its own behalf or to pass it on to third parties.
Mailjet is DSGVO compliant. Furthermore, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Mailjet. This is a contract in which Mailjet undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view Mailjet's privacy policy here.
The newsletters contain a so-called web beacon, i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the Mailjet server when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are initially collected. We use this information to enhance our services by analyzing technical data, the target groups, their access patterns, their reading behavior, as well as their access patterns, which may be determined through their IP addresses.
Statistical surveys also determine whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor Mailjet’s to surveil individual users. Rather, the analyses help us to obtain an overall view of the opened and clicked newsletters and, if necessary, to adapt their content.
You will find an unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter.
In accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), applicable as of 25 May 2018, we inform you that the consent to the sending of email addresses is based on article 6 (1) lit. a, 7 DSGVO, as well as Sec. 7 (2) no. 3 or (3) UWG. The use of the email service provider Mailjet, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses, as well as the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with article 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. We wish to maintain a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of our users.
