6. Newsletter
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 that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g., via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if such storage is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest as per Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, provided that consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) under the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
