Registration on our website
Type and purpose of processing:
When registering to use our personalised services, some personal data is collected, such as name, address, contact and communication data (e.g. telephone number and e-mail address). If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we offer only to registered users. Registered users also have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you with information about the personal data we have stored about you at any time.
Legal basis:
The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of the user’s consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
If the registration serves the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, an additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO.

Subscribers can also be informed by e-mail about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions).
For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure.
