An email address must be provided to subscribe to our newsletter. If applicable, we collect extra data, such as to include a personal greeting in our newsletter.
Our newsletter is only sent after the ‘double opt-in procedure’ has been fully completed.

Our newsletters are designed so that we can obtain findings about improvements, target groups or the reading behaviour of our subscribers.

If we have been given a separate consent for tracking in our newsletter (so-called tracking permission), we can draw conclusions about the usage behaviour of our newsletter subscribers. The tracking permission can be withdrawn separately, i.e. without withdrawing the consent for the subscription of the newsletter itself. Without a tracking permission we cannot draw any conclusions about the usage behaviour of individual subscribers.
