If you have a User Account with us, we reserve the right to contact you via newsletters or occasional informational notices.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We will not give customer data to any third party for marketing purposes.
We may disclose personal data to the extent the law permits passing on personal information to associated or controlled enterprises as well as sub-contractors and third parties entrusted with handling the contractual relationship. We are, for example, authorized to pass on data required to administer usage, for administering services ordered by you as well as invoicing of any paid services (e.g. invoice number, name, address as well as amount of any compensation and email address) to any third party used to fulfill these tasks. We impose restrictive confidentiality agreements on third parties we use for such purposes in order to protect against misuse and access by unauthorized persons. Such third parties that support us will have to undertake to provide adequate protective measures.
We contract external service providers to manage our websites or offer other activities, e.g. monitoring web traffic, generating corresponding statistical analysis (analysis services such as Google Analytics, see clause 6) or sending of newsletters, mailings, or survey. We take care to ensure that such service providers are only provided with anonymous data.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. The current date at the top of the page is updated for any amendments to this Privacy Policy.
