Our site uses services from Newsletter2Go GmbH, located at Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany, to send e-mails.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need you to provide an e-mail address. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to ensure that the person receiving the newsletter has consented to it. In this process, the potential recipient is entered in a mailing list. The user then receives a confirmation e-mail to confirm the registration in a legally secure manner. The e-mail address is only included in the list if the confirmation is received. We use this data exclusively to send the newsletter at irregular intervals. Your data will be transmitted to Newsletter2Go GmbH, which will use your data exclusively for sending our newsletter. You can revoke your consent to the storage of your e-mail address and its use to send the newsletter at any time via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. Further information can be found here.

reCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service operated by Google LLC. Google LLC is headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, United States.
ReCAPTCHA is a service that protects websites from spam and abuse. It uses advanced risk analysis techniques to distinguish humans and bots. We use reCAPTCHA to secure forms. When using reCAPTCHA, data is transferred to Google, which Google uses to determine whether the visitor is a human or a bot. You can read here about what data is collected by Google and what this data is used for.

We use plugins from YouTube to embed videos on our site. YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about visitors to its website.

When you access parts of our website with the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the plugin is displayed. This will send information to the YouTube server about which subpage you have visited. The use of the plugin, such as clicking the start button, is also transmitted to YouTube. If you are logged into YouTube as a member, YouTube connects this information to your personal user account. You can prevent this connection from taking place by logging out of your YouTube user account and other YouTube LLC and Google Inc. user accounts before using our website and deleting the corresponding company cookies.
