This website uses Google Analy­tics, a web analy­tics service provi­ded by Google, Inc. (?Google?). Google Analy­tics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your compu­ter, to help the website analy­se how users use the site. The infor­ma­ti­on genera­ted by the cookie about your use of the website will be trans­mit­ted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In the event that IP anony­mi­sa­ti­on is activa­ted on this website, however, your IP address will be trunca­ted before­hand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contrac­ting states to the Agree­ment on the European Econo­mic Area. Only in excep­tio­nal cases will the full IP address be trans­mit­ted to a Google server in the USA and shorten­ed there. On behalf of the opera­tor of this website, Google will use this infor­ma­ti­on for the purpo­se of evalua­ting your use of the website, compi­ling reports on website activi­ty and provi­ding other services relating to website activi­ty and inter­net usage to the website opera­tor. The IP address trans­mit­ted by your browser as part of Google Analy­tics will not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selec­ting the appro­pria­te settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full function­a­li­ty of this website. In additi­on, you can prevent the collec­tion of the data genera­ted by the cookie and related to your use of the website (inclu­ding your IP address) to Google as well as the proces­sing of this data by Google by downloa­ding and instal­ling the browser plugin (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) available under the follo­wing link.

When you call up a website with a map from Google Maps, your browser automa­ti­cal­ly trans­mits data to Google Maps. This data is collec­ted and used by Google. Google uses cookies. In this context, please also note Google’s priva­cy policy (http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy/privacy-policy.html), terms of use (http://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html) for Google Maps and infor­ma­ti­on on trans­pa­ren­cy and choice (http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy/) as well as the available browser plugin (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

This site uses web fonts to ensure a consis­tent display of fonts. The web fonts are provi­ded by Google and loaded from their servers.

If you do not wish this, please log out of your YouTube account. Please refer to YouTube’s priva­cy policy (https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy).

This website does not use social plugins. No data is trans­mit­ted to social networks. The integra­ted icons for social networks on this website only refer to the corre­spon­ding social network by means of a link.

We use Google Analy­tics, a web analy­tics service provi­ded by Google, Inc. (?Google?). Google uses cookies.

The infor­ma­ti­on genera­ted by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usual­ly trans­mit­ted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this infor­ma­ti­on on our behalf for the purpo­se of evalua­ting the use of our website by users, compi­ling reports on website activi­ty for website opera­tors and provi­ding other services relating to website activi­ty and inter­net usage. In doing so, pseud­ony­mous user profiles of the users can be created from the proces­sed data.

We only use Google Analy­tics with IP anony­mi­sa­ti­on activa­ted. This means that the IP address of the user is shorten­ed by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contrac­ting states of the Agree­ment on the European Econo­mic Area.

Use of Google Maps

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, are integra­ted within this online offer. This always assumes that the provi­ders of this content (herein­af­ter refer­red to as “third-party provi­ders”) are aware of the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respec­ti­ve user. The IP address is there­fo­re neces­sa­ry for the presen­ta­ti­on of this content. We endea­vour to only use content whose respec­ti­ve provi­ders only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party provi­ders store the IP address, e.g. for statis­ti­cal purpo­ses. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about this.

Sending our e-mail newslet­ter via ?Active Campaign?

With the newslet­ter we inform you about us and our offers. If you would like to recei­ve the newslet­ter, we requi­re a valid email address from you as well as infor­ma­ti­on that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provi­ded or that the owner agrees to recei­ve the newslet­ter. In additi­on, we request your first name for the perso­na­li­sa­ti­on of our newslet­ter, whereby this infor­ma­ti­on is provi­ded volun­t­a­ri­ly. No other data is collec­ted. This data is only used for sending the newslet­ter and is not passed on to third parties. When you regis­ter for the newslet­ter, we store your IP address and the date of regis­tra­ti­on. This storage serves solely as proof in the event that a third party misus­es an email address and regis­ters to recei­ve the newslet­ter without the knowledge of the autho­ri­sed person. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and their use for sending the newslet­ter at any time. The revoca­ti­on can be made via a link in the newslet­ters themsel­ves, in your profi­le area or by sending a messa­ge to the contact options above.

Notes on newslet­ters and consents

The follo­wing infor­ma­ti­on explains the contents of our newslet­ter as well as the regis­tra­ti­on, dispatch and statis­ti­cal evalua­ti­on proce­du­res and your rights of objec­tion. By subscrib­ing to our newslet­ter, you agree to recei­ve it and to the proce­du­res described.

Newslet­ter content

We send newslet­ters, e-mails and other electro­nic notifi­ca­ti­ons with promo­tio­nal infor­ma­ti­on (herein­af­ter refer­red to as “newslet­ter”) only with the consent of the recipi­ents or a legal permis­si­on. Insofar as the contents of the newslet­ter are speci­fi­cal­ly descri­bed in the course of regis­tra­ti­on, they are decisi­ve for the consent of the user. In additi­on, our newslet­ters contain infor­ma­ti­on about our products and our compa­ny (this may include, in parti­cu­lar, referen­ces to blog artic­les, lectures or workshops, our services or online presences).

Double opt-in and logging

Regis­tra­ti­on for our newslet­ter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after regis­tra­ti­on you will recei­ve an email in which you are asked to confirm your regis­tra­ti­on. This confir­ma­ti­on is neces­sa­ry so that no one can regis­ter with other people’s email addres­ses. The regis­tra­ti­ons for the newslet­ter are logged in order to be able to prove the regis­tra­ti­on process in accordance with the legal requi­re­ments. This includes the storage of the regis­tra­ti­on and confir­ma­ti­on time, as well as the IP address.

Use of the mailing service provi­der ActiveCampaign?

The newslet­ter is sent by means of ?Active­cam­paign?, a newslet­ter distri­bu­ti­on platform of the US provi­der Active­Cam­paign, LLC, 150 N. Michi­gan Ave Suite 1230, Chica­go, IL, US, USA.

The email addres­ses of our newslet­ter recipi­ents, as well as their other data descri­bed in this notice, are stored on Active­Cam­paign servers in the USA. Active­Cam­paign uses this infor­ma­ti­on to send and evalua­te the newslet­ter on our behalf. Further­mo­re, accor­ding to its own infor­ma­ti­on, Active­Cam­paign may use this data to optimi­se or impro­ve its own services, e.g. for the techni­cal optimi­sa­ti­on of the dispatch and presen­ta­ti­on of the newslet­ter or for econo­mic purpo­ses in order to deter­mi­ne from which count­ries the recipi­ents come. However, Active­Cam­paign does not use the data of our newslet­ter recipi­ents to write to them itself or pass the data on to third parties.

We trust in the relia­bi­li­ty and IT and data securi­ty of Active­Cam­paign. Active­Cam­paign is cover­ed by the data protec­tion agree­ment EU-US Priva­cy Shield and thus under­ta­kes to comply with the EU data protec­tion regula­ti­ons. We have concluded a Data Proces­sing Agree­ment with the provi­der in accordance with a contract for commis­sio­ned proces­sing pursu­ant to Art. 28 DSGVO. You can find the data protec­tion provi­si­ons of Active­Cam­paign at here. In additi­on, Active­Cam­paign protects our newslet­ter subscri­bers through an exten­si­ve Anti-Spam Policy.

Login data

To sign up for the newslet­ter, all you need to do is enter your e-mail address.

Statis­ti­cal survey and analyses

The newslet­ters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrie­ved from the Active­Cam­paign server when the newslet­ter is opened. Within the scope of this retrie­val, techni­cal infor­ma­ti­on, such as infor­ma­ti­on about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrie­val are initi­al­ly collec­ted. This infor­ma­ti­on is used for the techni­cal impro­ve­ment of the services based on the techni­cal data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrie­val locati­ons (which can be deter­mi­ned with the help of the IP address) or the access times.

The statis­ti­cal surveys also include deter­mi­ning whether the newslet­ters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For techni­cal reasons, this infor­ma­ti­on can be assigned to indivi­du­al newslet­ter recipi­ents. However, it is neither our inten­ti­on nor that of Active­Cam­paign to obser­ve indivi­du­al users. The analy­ses serve us much more to recog­ni­se the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send diffe­rent content accor­ding to the interests of our users.

Online call and data management

There are cases where we direct newslet­ter recipi­ents to ActiveCampaign’s websites. For examp­le, our newslet­ters contain a link that newslet­ter recipi­ents can use to access the newslet­ter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the email program­me). Further­mo­re, newslet­ter recipi­ents can subse­quent­ly correct their data, such as the email address. Likewi­se, the Priva­cy policy of Active­Cam­paign can only be acces­sed on their site.

In this context, we pointed out that cookies are used on the websites of Active­Cam­paign and that perso­nal data is proces­sed by Active­Cam­paign, its partners and service provi­ders (e.g. Google Analy­tics). We do not have any influence on this data collec­tion. We would also like to point out that you have the option to object to the collec­tion of data for adver­ti­sing purpo­ses on the websites of Active­Cam­paign. https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European region).

Termi­na­ti­on / Revocation

You can cancel the receipt of our newslet­ter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. Your consent to the sending of the newslet­ter via Active­Cam­paign and the statis­ti­cal analy­ses will then expire at the same time. Separa­te cancel­la­ti­on of the sending via Active­Cam­paign or the statis­ti­cal analy­sis is not possi­ble. You will find a link to cancel the newslet­ter at the end of each newsletter.
