If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send you the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter sign-up form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to our newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), this data will be stored on our servers.
c) We use “Newsletter” to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via “Newsletter,” a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to the “Newsletter” servers. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links were clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be linked to the specific newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
d) If you do not want your data analyzed by “The Newsletter Plugin,” you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
e) Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.
f) The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our server after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members' area) remains unaffected by this.

a) If you have consented to the processing of your data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Once you do so, your data will no longer be processed for the purpose for which you gave your consent.
b) If your data is processed on the basis of a balancing of interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you may object to such processing provided that you can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for doing so.
c) You also have the right to object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes. As a result, your data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes.
Current Notice
In its July 16, 2020, ruling, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) found that the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement is invalid because the European standard of data protection cannot be guaranteed for data processing operations carried out in the United States. In particular, providers such as Google process personal data in the United States as well. In the view of the ECJ, the United States is a so-called “unsafe third country.” This means, in particular, that U.S. authorities, for example, can access user data held by the service, and there are no legal remedies available against this, as provided for by the GDPR. The consents you have provided as part of the cookie consent therefore expressly extend to the processing of the relevant personal data in the United States as well.
