3. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., communication by e‑mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Kansi Solutions GmbH
Rotenbergerweg 24
66640 Namborn

Phone:

E‑mail:

Phone: 068571729595
E‑mail: support@kansi-solutions.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addresses or similar).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases of Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed, on the basis of Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data are necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre‑contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that are not secure from a data protection perspective. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obligated to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME AND ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine‑readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. You can contact us at any time about this and about further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data has been or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the exercise, defense or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after the conclusion of a fee‑based contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit), these data are required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the common means of payment (Visa/Mastercard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional E‑mails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e‑mails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so‑called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies can come from us (first‑party cookies) or from third‑party companies (so‑called third‑party cookies). Third‑party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third‑party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions that you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error‑free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Consent with Usercentrics

This website uses the consent technology of Usercentrics to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your end device or to use certain technologies and to document this in a manner compliant with data protection. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Website: https://usercentrics.com/de/ (hereinafter “Usercentrics”).

When you enter our website, the following personal data are transmitted to Usercentrics:

  • Your consent(s) or the revocation of your consent(s)
  • Your IP address
  • Information about your browser
  • Information about your device
  • Time of your visit to the website

Furthermore, Usercentrics stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way are stored until you ask us to delete them, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected.

The Usercentrics banner on this website was configured with the help of eRecht24. You can recognize this by the fact that the eRecht24 logo appears in the banner. To display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection is made to eRecht24’s image server. In doing so, the IP address is also transmitted, which is stored only in anonymized form in the server logs. The image server of eRecht24 is located in Germany with a German provider. The banner itself is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.

The use of Usercentrics is carried out in order to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Processing Agreement

We have concluded a processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above‑mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that this service processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so‑called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error‑free presentation and the optimization of its website—this requires the server log files to be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, are stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow‑up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre‑contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiry by E‑mail, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by e‑mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre‑contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us by contact inquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Comment Function on This Website

For the comment function on this site, in addition to your comment, information on the time of creation of the comment, your e‑mail address and—if you are not posting anonymously—the user name you have chosen are stored.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not check comments on this website before activation, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal infringements such as insults or propaganda.

Storage Period of Comments

Comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke consent you have given at any time. An informal e‑mail message to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

5. Social Media

eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool

The content on this website can be shared in a privacy‑compliant manner in social networks such as Facebook, Twitter & Co. This site uses the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool for this purpose. This tool establishes direct contact between the networks and users only when the user actively clicks one of these buttons. Clicking the button constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

An automatic transfer of user data to the operators of these platforms does not take place through this tool. If the user is logged in to one of the social networks, an information window appears when using the social media elements of Facebook, Twitter & Co., in which the user can confirm the text before sending it.

Our users can share the content of this page in social networks in a privacy‑compliant manner without complete surfing profiles being created by the operators of the networks.

The use of the service is carried out in order to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

6. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not carry out independent analyses. It serves only the administration and playback of the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to the parent company of Google in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and administration of various tools on his website. If the corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and the origin of the user. These data may be aggregated in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

We can also use Google Analytics to record, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the data sets collected and applies machine‑learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Processing Agreement

We have concluded a processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Analytics E‑commerce Measurement

This website uses the “E‑commerce measurement” function of Google Analytics. With the help of E‑commerce measurement, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors in order to improve its online marketing campaigns. In doing so, information such as the orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing to purchasing a product are recorded. These data can be summarized by Google under a transaction ID, which is assigned to the respective user or their device.

WP Statistics

This website uses the analysis tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134, Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

With WP Statistics we can analyze the use of our website. WP Statistics records, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browsers used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions that website visitors have performed on the site (e.g., clicks and views).

The data collected with WP Statistics are stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our web offering and our advertising. If the corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly assigned to you.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third‑party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example, by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads Remarketing we can assign people who interact with our online offer to specific target groups to subsequently display interest‑based advertising in the Google advertising network to them (remarketing or retargeting).

In addition, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked with the cross‑device functions of Google. In this way, interest‑based, personalized advertising messages that have been adjusted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on one of your other end devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

Audience Building with Customer Match

For audience building, we also use Google Ads Remarketing’s Customer Match. In doing so, we transmit certain customer data (e.g., e‑mail addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers concerned are Google users and are logged into their Google account, they will be shown suitable advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail or in the search engine).

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website are clicked how often and which products are particularly frequently viewed or purchased. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who have clicked on our advertisements and which actions they have performed. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

More information on Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses the visitor action pixel of Facebook/Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the data collected are also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

In this way, the behavior of site visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the website of the provider by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected are anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data are stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. We as the site operator cannot influence this use of data.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Insofar as personal data are collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited solely to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after the forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly were laid down in an agreement on joint processing. You can find the wording of the agreement at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the data protection secure implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. Data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) with regard to the data processed by Facebook can be asserted directly with Facebook. If you assert data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e‑mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e‑mail address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data are collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers, which are described below, for processing the newsletter.

Mailchimp

This website uses the services of Mailchimp for sending newsletters. The provider is The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Mailchimp is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g., e‑mail address), these data are stored on the servers of Mailchimp in the USA.

With the help of Mailchimp we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an e‑mail sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the e‑mail (so‑called web beacon) connects to the servers of Mailchimp in the USA. This can determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). These data cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. They are used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want analysis by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link for this in each newsletter message.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us and/or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing. Data that have been stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e‑mail address may be stored with us and/or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist are used only for this purpose and are not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time‑limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
