MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service that, among other things, can be used to organize and analyze the distribution of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), this data will be stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified according to the „EU-US Privacy Shield.“ The „Privacy Shield“ is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.
With the help of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective 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.
If you do not want MailChimp to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
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 subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.
For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

6. Plugins and Tools
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to Google’s servers. This allows Google to know that our website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a consistent and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA („Facebook“).
This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is 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 the Facebook Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. We, as the website operator, cannot influence this use of data.
The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.
You can prevent Facebook from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Deactivate Facebook Pixel.
