Use of the mail service provider MailChimp

We send out our newsletters using “MailChimp”, a newsletter mailing service provider by 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 other data as explained in this privacy information, are stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.

MailChimp uses this information for mailings and evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. In addition, MailChimp may use these data in order to optimize and improve their own services (technical optimisation of mailings and presentation of newsletters or for scientific purposes, e.g. for evaluation where the recipients come from). However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter subscribers in order to contact them on MailChimp’s own behalf, neither does MailChimp pass on the data to third parties.

We trust on the reliability and the IT as well as data safety of MailChimp. MailChimp is a company certified with the “Privacy Shield” according to the US-EU data protection agreement and therefor bound to meet the European data protection guidelines.

We closed a “Data-Processing-Agreement” with MailChimp. This is a contract binding MailChimp to protect the privacy of our users by meeting data privacy guidelines and not to pass data on to third parties. Read more about the data privacy guidelines of MailChimp here: [Link]

Online requests and data management

Under certain circumstances (e.g. unsubscription) newsletter recipients are forwarded to MailChimp’s web site. Our newsletters for example contain a link that provides the newsletter online (in case the newsletter cannot be displayed in the user’s mailing software). Moreover, newsletter recipients are able to correct their user data retroactively. In addition, MailChimp’s privacy policy is only available on their own web site.

In this context, we would like to inform you, that MailChimp uses cookies. Personal data is processed by MailChimp, their partners and external services (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no impact on these data collections. More information is provided in MailChimp’s privacy policy. We also want to indicate the opt-out options from data collections for advertising purposes on http://www.aboutads.info/choices and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (in European countries).
