Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies) are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies in question are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time. Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this within the scope of this data protection declaration and obtain your consent.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
When all optional cookies are rejected, no data is collected and stored. Therefore, no information about the device or the user (personal data) can be traced.

Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. For the processing of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.

Rapidmail

This website uses Rapidmail for sending newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.

Rapidmail is a service that, among other things, can organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on Rapidmail’s servers in Germany.

Data Analysis by Rapidmail

For analysis purposes, emails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called “tracking pixel” that connects to Rapidmail’s servers when the email is opened. This way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.

Furthermore, with the help of Rapidmail, we can determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked. All links in the email are so-called tracking links, which can count your clicks. If you do not want analysis by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.

Further details on Rapidmail’s analysis functions can be found at the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.

Legal Basis

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Retention Period

The data you have provided 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 unsubscribing. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

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 this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Order processing

The agency Lust auf Besser Leben gGmbH, commissioned by us for the newsletter, has concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that personal data of our website visitors is processed only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
