Newsletter:
Cleverreach (starting 2025): We use CleverReach to send our newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. CleverReach is a service that helps us organize and analyze the sending of newsletters.

This allows us to see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, were clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, operating system). This information is used exclusively for the statistical evaluation of newsletter campaigns. Data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time with future effect by unsubscribing from the newsletter via the link provided in each issue. For more information, please see CleverReach’s privacy policy: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/privacy-policy/
