If you do not confirm your registration within [24 hours], your information will be locked and then deleted after one month.

For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons to your email address and an individual ID.
4 With the data thus collected, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In so doing, we record when you read our newsletter, which of its links you click on, and use this to track your personal interests. We link this data to actions you take on our website.

Every time you visit our Facebook page, especially when you trigger the programs automatically integrated into Facebook pages (such as the “Like” button), you transmit information about yourself to Facebook. We point out that due to data storage by Facebook, there is a risk that your personal data will also be transferred to the United States and stored and processed there, because the parent company, Facebook Inc., is based in the United States. Facebook alone is responsible for this type of data processing.

Facebook uses your data, including the fact that you have looked around on our fan page, for market research and advertising purposes. This means that Facebook uses this data to create extensive profiles about you, which are then used, for example, to show you advertising tailored to your interests as part of your timeline.
