5) Using your data for direct marketing
5.1 Subscription to our email newsletter
If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of any further data is voluntary and is used to be able to contact you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you agree to receive newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to click on an appropriate link to confirm that you would like to receive newsletters in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data we collect when signing up for the newsletter is used exclusively for promotional purposes by means of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible mentioned above. After you have unsubscribed, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data for further purposes, which is permitted by law and which we will inform you of in this statement.
5.2 Newsletter delivery via MailChimp
Our email newsletters are sent by the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we share the data you provided when you signed up for the newsletter. This transfer is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.
MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate newsletters on our behalf. For evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on, if any. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form and is not linked to your other personal data; direct personal reference is ruled out. This data is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of recipients.
If you would like to object to data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
Furthermore, in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, MailChimp may use this data itself based on its own legitimate interest in designing and optimising the service in line with requirements and for market research purposes, for example to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.
To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a data processing contract (“Data Processing Agreement”) with MailChimp based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. If you are interested, this data processing contract can be viewed at the following Internet address: http://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/.
MailChimp is also certified under the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection requirements.

5.3 Advertising by mail
Based on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and — insofar as we have received this additional information from you as part of the contractual relationship — your title, academic degree, year of birth and your professional, industry or business name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and to use them to send interesting offers and information about our products by post.
You can object to the storage and use of your data for this purpose at any time by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible.
6) Web analytics services
Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the abbreviated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp ()” extension, which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by abbreviating it and excludes direct personal identification.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:
