The data subject also has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must set “Do Not Track” in their browser.

Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl & Cie. SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject selects “PayPal” as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data that is necessary for payment processing. In order to process the purchase contract, personal data that is related to the respective order is also necessary.
The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The person responsible for processing will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the person responsible for processing may be transmitted by PayPal to credit reporting agencies.

Newsletter
We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with information (hereinafter “newsletter”) with the consent of the recipient or legal permission. If the contents are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user's consent.
Double opt-in and logging
Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after you register you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with someone else's email address.
Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times as well as the IP address. The changes to your data stored at MailChimp are also logged.
Use of the shipping service provider “MailChimp”
The newsletter is sent using “MailChimp”, a newsletter delivery platform from the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this information, are stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp can, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, for example to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them ourselves or to pass them on to third parties.
We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement “ Privacy Shield ” and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection regulations. We have also concluded a “ data processing agreement ” with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect our users' data, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here .
Login details
To register for the newsletter, all you need to do is enter your email address. Optionally, we ask you to provide your name. This information is only used to personalize the newsletter.
Statistical survey and analysis
The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, ie a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from MailChimp’s server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information is initially collected, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their access locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or 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 nor MailChimp's intention to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize 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 access and data management
There are cases in which we direct newsletter recipients to MailChimp's websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link with which newsletter recipients can access the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the email program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as their email address. Likewise, privacy policy only available on their website.
In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on MailChimp's websites and that personal data is therefore processed by MailChimp, its partners and the service providers used (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. Further information can be found in privacy policy . We would also like to point out the possibility of objecting to data collection for advertising purposes on the websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European area).
Termination/revocation
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. This means that your consent to sending it via MailChimp and the statistical analyzes expire at the same time. Unfortunately, a separate revocation of sending via MailChimp or the statistical evaluation is not possible. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.
Our online presence on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram
We maintain online presences within social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram in order to communicate with active Internet users there and to inform them about our information and educational reports. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the current terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.
Unless otherwise stated in our data protection declaration, we process users' data if they communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g. write status posts on our pages or send us messages, such as via Facebook Messenger.
