CleverReach
CleverReach uses this website to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. CleverReach is a service with which the newsletter dispatch can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany and Ireland.
Our newsletters sent with CleverReach enable us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Among other things, it can be analyzed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link was clicked in the newsletter. Conversion tracking can also be used to analyze whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on this website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis through the CleverReach newsletter can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/features/reporting-tracking/.
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you do not want an analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe directly on the website.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored, by us, until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you cancel the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes will remain unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist 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 the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The storage of the blacklist is not limited in time.

We use the marketing system "Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing" of the provider Microsoft Corporation ( Microsoft Deutschland GmbH, Walter-Gropius-Straße 5, 80807 Munich, Germany) - hereinafter referred to as "Microsoft" - to carry out marketing campaigns, for analytical purposes and to address customers and potential customers.

The statistical data collection includes (among other things) determining whether the newsletters are accessed, when they are accessed and which links are clicked. Although this information can technically be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients, an analysis of personal data is excluded and information about newsletter recipients is only evaluated pseudonymously and cannot be decrypted and assigned to individual persons.
Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration, the user receives an e-mail in which he or she is asked to confirm the registration. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes the saving of the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to the user data stored with the dispatch service provider are also logged.
The recipient of our newsletter can unsubscribe at any time, i.e. withdraw his or her consent. The user will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. The corresponding data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after the newsletter has been unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
