You have the possibility to sign up for our free newsletter on our website.

When registering for the newsletter, the personal data to be entered from the input mask will be sent to us. In general, you only have to enter your e-mail address.

All logon procedures are logged in order to prove the logon process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the logon and the confirmation time as well as the IP address.
If you sign up for our newsletter for the first time, you will receive a confirmation e-mail to the indicated e-mail address.

Some of the e-mail services are based outside the EU / EEA. However, we only work with companies that offer an appropriate level of data protection in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.

We record your use of our newsletter, such as e-mail openings and e-mail clicks, using a tracking technology provided by the e-mail service provider. In the HTML e-mails sent with the newsletter, a so-called counting pixel (also called web beacons or tracking pixels) is embedded. A web beacon is a small graphic that contains unique identifiers that allow us to analyze the success or failure of our newsletter campaigns. Our service provider records the e-mail address, IP address, date and time of each opening and clicking to provide aggregated reports on how an e-mail campaign was conducted and what action subscribers took to have. Our service provider can use it to report on the success or failure of an e-mail campaign so we can tweak the content of our newsletter.

A separate revocation regarding the described tracking is not possible. However, you can configure the mail program you use to display e-mails in text rather than HTML format. As a result, image and graphics files are hidden, so that tracking is not possible. You can also prevent the use of counting pixels by blocking the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. Count pixels are used together with cookies. However, the newsletter will not be fully displayed in these cases and you may not be able to use all the features.
