  • Rapidmail

This website uses rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany.

Rapidmail is a service with which, among other things, the dispatch of newsletters can be organised and analysed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters is stored on Rapidmail’s servers in Germany.

If you do not want Rapidmail to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe directly on the website.

  • Data analysis by Rapidmail

For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called “tracking pixel”, which connects to the Rapidmail servers when the e-mail is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.

Furthermore, with the help of Rapidmail we can determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. All links in the e-mail are so-called tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.

  • Legal basis

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

  • Storage period

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the Rapidmail servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members’ area) remain unaffected by this.
