If you open an email that has been sent via the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the email (a so-called web beacon) is connected to MailChimp’s servers in the United States.

Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. access time, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the recipient of the respective newsletter. Its sole purpose is the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.

If you do not wish to allow analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do so in each newsletter message. In addition, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
