They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

4. Newsletter
Our cost-free newsletter keeps you regularly updated by email on the latest developments, events and projects. On our website and for sending out newsletters, we use the MailerLite service provided by the US-based company MailerLite Inc., 548 Market St, PMB 98174, San Francisco, CA 94194-5401, USA.
MailerLite also processes personal data in the USA. In the opinion of the Court of Justice of the European Union, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA, which entails various risks to the lawfulness and security of the relevant data processing.
MailerLite uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data to the US. These clauses oblige MailerLite to maintain the same level of data protection as in the European Union when processing personal data outside the European Union. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the European Commission.
Further information on these standard contractual clauses can be found at:
https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/data-processing-agreement
Further information on MailerLite’s processing of personal data can be found in the privacy policy at: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy
We use the double opt-in procedure for registering for our newsletter. This means that after you register, we will send an email to the email address you provided, asking you to confirm that you are the owner of the email address and that you wish to receive the newsletter.
If you do not confirm your registration within 30 days, your information will be automatically deleted after the 30 days have expired. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. This serves the purpose of verifying your registration and, if necessary, investigating any possible misuse of your personal data.
The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of additional, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. The data you enter for this purpose will only be used to personalise the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
After your confirmation, we will store your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
