Information about the newsletter and consent
We have provided the following information to explain the content of our newsletter and the registration, delivery and statistical evaluation processes, as well as your cancellation rights. By subscribing to our newsletter, you express your consent to the receipt and the described processes.

Content of the newsletter
We send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with commercial information (hereinafter "Newsletter") only with the consent of the recipient or statutory permission. Insofar as the content of the newsletter is paraphrased in the scope of a registration to the newsletter, it is relevant for the consent of the user. Our newsletters contain information about products, product documents, trade fairs / events, references and general marketing activities and company information.

Double opt-in and logging
The registration for our newsletter takes place in a double opt-in process. In other words, after registration, you receive an email in which you are requested to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one with a third-party email address can register.
Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to verify the registration process according to legal requirements. This includes storage of the time of registration and confirmation and the IP address. Changes to your data stored by MailChimp are also logged.

Use of the "MailChimp" delivery service provider
Delivery of the newsletter takes place with "MailChimp", a newsletter delivery platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA, 30308, USA. The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described here, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information for delivery and for evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp can use this data for optimisation or improvement of their own services according to their own information, e.g. for technical optimisation of the delivery and representation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine the countries from which the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them or to transfer said data to third parties.
We trust the reliability and the IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement „Privacy Shield“ and obligated to compliance with the EU data protection requirements. We have also concluded a „Data-Processing-Agreement“ with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp commits to protect the data of our users, to process said data on our behalf according to our data protection provisions and to refrain from transferring said data to third parties. You can view the data protection requirements of MailChimp here.

Registration data
You only have to specify your email address to register for the newsletter.
We ask you to optionally specify your first and last name and your company. This information is only provided for personalisation of the newsletter.

Statistical collection and analysis
The newsletter contains a "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-size file which is called up by the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Technical information, such as information about the browser and your system and your IP address and time of the call-up are collected in the scope of this call-up. This information is used for technical improvement of the service based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on call-up locations (which can be determined based on the IP address) or the access times.
Specification of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked are also included in the statistical collection. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, neither we nor MailChimp have the ambition of monitoring individual users. Moreover, the evaluations help us to identify reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or send different content according to the interests of our users.

Online call-up and data management
There are cases in which we lead newsletter recipients to the websites of MailChimp. For example, our newsletters include a link with which the newsletter recipients can view the newsletter online (e.g. in case of display problems in the email program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can correct their data, such as the email address. The Privacy Policy of MailChimp can also be viewed on their website.
In the connect, please bear in mind that cookies are used on the MailChimp website and that personal data is processed by MailChimp, their partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. For further information, refer to the Privacy Policy of MailChimp. Please also bear in mind the possibilities of objecting to data collection for advertising purposes on the websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European area).

Termination/Cancellation
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. In doing so, you also revoke your consent to its delivery via MailChimp and the statistical analyses. A separate revocation of delivery via MailChimp of the statistical evaluation is not possible.
A link for cancellation of the newsletter is provided at the end of each newsletter.

Legal principles of the German Data Protection Regulation
According to the requirements of the German Data Protection regulation, effective on 25 May 2018, it is our duty to inform you that consent to the delivery to the email addresses takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 7 of the German Data Protection Regulation and § 7 para. 2, no. 3, and para. 3 of the German Law Against Unfair Competition [UWG]. The use of the delivery service provider MailChimp, collection and analysis of data for statistical purposes and logging of the registration process take place on the basis of our entitled interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the German Data Protection Regulation. Our interests are concentrated on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system which serves our commercial interests and meets the expectations of users.

Please also bear in mind that you can object to future processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with the legal specifications as per Art. 21 of the German Data Protection Regulation. Your objection can take place, in particular, against processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising.
