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 e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

 

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. 

 

(1) If you have consented to the processing of your data, you have the permanent option of revoking this processing for the future. As a result, your data will no longer be processed for the purpose for which you gave your consent.

 

(2) If your data is processed on the basis of a balancing of interests in accordance with the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you can object to this if you have special reasons against the processing of the data.

 

(3) You also have the option to object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct marketing. This means that your data will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct advertising.

 

In its ruling of July 16, 2020, the ECJ determined that the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement is invalid, as the European level of data protection cannot be guaranteed for data processing operations that take place in the USA. However, providers such as Google and Vimeo in particular also process personal data in the USA. According to the ECJ, the USA is a so-called “unsafe third country”. This means in particular that, for example, US authorities can access the user data available to the service and that there are no legal protection options against this as provided for in the GDPR. The consents that you have declared as part of the cookie consent therefore expressly extend to the fact that the corresponding personal data is also processed in the USA.
