Our email newsletter is dispatched via the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co.

Data entered by the user for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.

CleverReach uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf.

Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of visit, IP address, browser type and operating system). Data is collected exclusively in pseudonymised form and is not linked to other personal data of the users, direct links to a particular individual are excluded.

Our legitimate interest in processing data in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 Lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

3.7 Social Media Plugins

Our Website uses so-called social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) provided by Instagram which are operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). The plug-ins are identified by means of an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an "Instagram camera" add-on. An overview of the Instagram plug-ins with their visual appearance is provided here: http://blog.instagram.com/post...

Your browser will create a direct connection with the Instagram servers when you call up a page on our Website which contains one of these plug-ins.

This information (including your IP address) is transferred from your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA where it is stored.

If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram is able to link the visit to our Website directly to your Instagram profile. If you interact with the plug-in, for example by activating the "Instagram" button or leaving a comment, this information is also transferred directly to an Instagram server where it is saved. The information is also published on your Instagram profile and can be seen by your contacts.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the subsequent processing and use of data by Instagram in addition to your associated rights and configuration options to protect your privacy can be obtained from the data protection information provided by Instagram: https://help.instagram.com/155...

If you do not want Instagram to link the data collected via our Website directly with your Instagram account, you will need to log out of Instagram before you visit our Website.
