You may revoke the consent you have given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address and the use of this information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the \u201eUnsubscribe\u201c link in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.<\/p>\n The data you archive with us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription shall be archived by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription to the newsletter, the data shall be deleted. This shall not affect data we have been archiving for other purposes.<\/p>\n This website uses the services of MailChimp to send out its newsletters. The provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.<\/p>\n Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be deployed to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your e-mail address), the information is stored on MailChimp servers in the United States.<\/p>\n MailChimp is in possession of a certification that is in compliance with the \u201eEU-US-Privacy-Shield.\u201c The \u201ePrivacy-Shield\u201c is a compact between the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) that aims to warrant the compliance with European data protection standards in the United States.<\/p>\n With the assistance of the MailChimp tool, we can analyse the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If you open an e-mail that has been sent through the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the e-mail (a so-called web-beacon) connects to MailChimp\u2019s servers in the United States. As a result, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient possibly clicked on. Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, type of browser and operating system). This information cannot be allocated to the respective newsletter recipient. Their sole purpose is the performance of statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.<\/p>\n If you do not want to permit an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter right on the website.<\/p>\n The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). \u00a0You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.<\/p>\n The data you archive with us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription shall be archived by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription to the newsletter, the data shall be deleted from our servers as well as those of MailChimp. This shall not affect data we have been archiving for other purposes.<\/p>\n For more details, please consult the Data Privacy Policies of MailChimp at: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/terms\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Execution of a contract data processing agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n We have executed a so-called \u201eData Processing Agreement\u201c with MailChimp, in which we mandate that MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our customers and to refrain from sharing it with third parties.<\/p>\n Our website uses plug-ins of the YouTube platform, which is being operated by Google Ireland Limited (\u201eGoogle\u201c), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.<\/p>\n We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.<\/p>\n As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube\u2019s servers will be established. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.<\/p>\n Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device. With the assistance of these cookies, YouTube will be able to obtain information about our website visitor. Among other things, this information will be used to generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud. These cookies will stay on your device until you delete them.<\/p>\n Under certain circumstances, additional data processing transactions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.<\/p>\n The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, this is a legitimate interest.<\/p>\n For more information on how YouTube handles user data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy under: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy?hl=en<\/a>.<\/p>\n This website uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google to ensure the uniform use of fonts on this site. These Google fonts are locally installed so that a connection to Google\u2019s servers will not be established in conjunction with this application.<\/p>\n This website uses Google Maps, a mapping\/location service, via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (\u201eGoogle\u201c), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.<\/p>\n To warrant data protection on our website, you will find that Google Maps has been deactivated when you visit our website for the first time. A direct connection to Google\u2019s servers will not be established until you have activated Google Maps autonomously at your end (i.e. given your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). This will prevent the transfer of your data to Google during your first visit to our website.<\/p>\n Once you have activated the service, Google Maps will store your IP address. As a rule, it is subsequently transferred to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored. The provider of this website does not have any control over this data transfer once Google Maps has been activated.<\/p>\n For more information about the handling of user data, please consult the Data Privacy Declaration of Google under the following link: https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n We use \u201eGoogle reCAPTCHA\u201c (hereinafter referred to as \u201ereCAPTCHA\u201c) on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (\u201eGoogle\u201c), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.<\/p>\n The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether data entered on our websites (e.g. information entered into a contact form) is being provided by a human user or by an automated program. To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitors based on a variety of parameters. This analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g. IP address, time the website visitor spent on the site or cursor movements initiated by the user). The data tracked during such analyses are forwarded to Google.<\/p>\n reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not alerted that an analysis is underway.<\/p>\n The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. It is in the website operators legitimate interest, to protect the operator\u2019s web content against misuse by automated industrial espionage systems and against SPAM.<\/p>\n For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and to review the Data Privacy Declaration of Google, please follow these links: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy?hl=en<\/a> and https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/intro\/android.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n We may have integrated plug-ins of the social network SoundCloud (SoundCloud Limited, Berners House, 47-48 Berners Street, London W1T 3NF, Great Britain) into our websites. You will be able to recognise such SoundCloud plug-ins by checking for the SoundCloud logo on the respective pages.<\/p>\n Whenever you visit one of our websites, a direct connection between your browser and the SoundCloud server will be established immediately after the plug-in has been activated. As a result, SoundCloud will be notified that you have used your IP address to visit our site. If you click the \u201eLike\u201c button or the \u201eShare\u201c button while you are logged into your Sound Cloud user account, you can link the content of our websites to your SoundCloud profile and\/or share the content. Consequently, SoundCloud will be able to allocate the visit to our website to your user account. We emphasize that we as the provider of the websites do not have any knowledge of the data transferred and the use of this data by SoundCloud.<\/p>\n We use SoundCloud on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in attaining the highest level of visibility on social media.<\/p>\n For more information about this, please consult SoundCloud\u2019s Data Privacy Declaration at: https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/pages\/privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you prefer not to have your visit to our websites allocated to your SoundCloud user account by SoundCloud, please log out of your SoundCloud user account before you activate content of the SoundCloud plug-in.<\/p>\n We have integrated features of the Spotify music platform into our websites. The provider is Spotify AB, Birger Jarlsgatan 61, 113 56 Stockholm, Sweden. You will be able to recognise Spotify plug-ins when you see the green logo on our pages. An overview of Spotify\u2019s plug-ins can be found at: https:\/\/developer.spotify.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The plug-in makes it possible to establish a direct connection between your browser and Spotify\u2019s server when you visit our websites. As a result, Spotify receives the information that you visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Spotify button while you are logged into your Spotify account, you have the option to link content from our page with your Spotify profile. Consequently, Spotify will be in a position to allocate your visit to our websites to your user account.<\/p>\n The data processing activities are based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.
