Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information which allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to the receipt of the newsletter.

You can withdraw your given consent to the saving of your data and email address, as well as the use of this for the distribution of the newsletter, at any time, for example by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. However, the legitimacy of the processing already conducted based on the consent is unaffected. The data provided by you for the purpose of the newsletter subscription is stored by us or our newsletter service provider until your withdrawal from the newsletter service and is deleted from the distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. This does not affect data saved by us for other purposes.
Once you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be added to our or the newsletter service provider’s blacklist to prevent future e-mails. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This is both in your interest as well as our interest in complying with the legal provisions on sending newsletters (legitimate interest as defined by Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). There is no time limit related to blacklist data.
You may object to storage if your interests override our legitimate interests.
