With the help of the Newsletter Service Provider, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by the Newsletter Service Provider, a file included in the email (a so-called web beacon) connects to Newsletter Service Provider’s servers.

In addition, technical information is collected (for example, time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletter to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want to subject your data to analysis by the Newsletter Service Provider, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. To do this, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.
Data processing is based on your consent (article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the withdrawal of consent.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored with us until such a time that you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and [Newsletter Service Provider]’s servers once you unsubscribe from the newsletter.
