Commenting

When users leave comments on our website, we also save the time the comment was published and the user name chosen by the commenter. This is for our security, as we can be prosecuted for illegal content on our website, even if it was created by users.

If you give us permission, we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by e-mail to the e-mail address you provided.

Subscribers can also be informed by email about circumstances that are relevant for the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).

For an effective registration we need a valid email address. In order to check that the registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the order for the newsletter, the dispatch of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested. Further data is not collected. The data will only be used to send the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
