For newsletter distribution, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure.

This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have explicitly confirmed that you consent to the newsletter being sent. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter by clicking on a corresponding link.

This ensures that only you, as the owner of the specified email address, can register for the newsletter. Your confirmation must be sent promptly after receiving the confirmation email, otherwise, your newsletter subscription will be automatically deleted from our database.

The processing of your email address for sending the newsletter is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and § 7 para. 2 No. 3 UWG on the voluntary consent you provide, which can be revoked at any time with future effect. Additionally, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in documenting the necessary consent.

14. Data Security and Safeguards

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data confidentially. We take extensive technical and organizational security measures, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption procedures (SSL or TLS). However, data disclosed unencrypted, for example, when this occurs via unencrypted email, may potentially be read by third parties. We have no control over this. It is the responsibility of the user to protect the data provided by them against misuse through encryption or other means.
