Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or the users consent to the data collection.

Further data will not be collected. This data is only used for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content.
