    SSL or TLS
    encryption

    This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of

    Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your
    computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the
    cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored
    there.

    Google Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator

    Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional
    cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this
    information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports
    on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the
    website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be
    merged with any other data held by Google.

    Outsourced
    data processing

    We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of
    our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities
    when using Google Analytics.

    Demographic data collection by Google
    Analytics

    This website uses Google Analytics’ demographic features. This allows reports
    to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data
    comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot
    be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the
    ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as

    7. Newsletter

    Newsletter data

    If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address
    as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address andthat you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary
    basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

    We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6
    (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use
    for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
    The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

    The data
    provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your
    subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses
    for the members area) remain unaffected.

    MailChimp

    This website uses the services of
    MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De
    Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

    MailChimp is a service which organizes and
    analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our
    newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.

    MailChimp is certified under the EUUS Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to
    ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.

    We use MailChimp to
    analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the
    email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to
    determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical
    information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This
    information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of
    our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to
    your interests.

    If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you
    will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we
    send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

    Data processing is
    based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the
    newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

    The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you
    cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we
    have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

    For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

    Completion of a data processing
    agreement

    We have entered into a data processing agreement with MailChimp, in which
    we require MailChimp to protect the data of our customers and not to disclose said data to third parties.
    This agreement may be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/dataprocessing-agreement/sample-agreement/.
