a) When visiting the website

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • date and time of access,

The data mentioned are processed by us for the following purposes:

  • ensuring a smooth connection of the website,

b) Newsletter subscriptions

When you subscribe to the newsletter through this website, the double-opt-in process collects your email address and the consent and subscription record needed to document the request and its status. These data are used to confirm the subscription and deliver the newsletter.

Subscriptions will be managed in Listmonk on the Hetzner/Aegis infrastructure. Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) will process the email address and necessary technical delivery data to send confirmation and newsletter emails. The data will not be used for unrelated purposes.

Each newsletter will provide a way to unsubscribe at any time. Unsubscribing stops newsletter mail immediately. We then retain only the minimum Listmonk record needed to prevent future accidental contact; it contains the email address and a global blocklist status and is not used for marketing. A person may request deletion by contacting cg@grobmeier.de. On a deletion request, ordinary profile data and list memberships will be erased while only this lawful minimum no-contact record is retained. Other lawful retention requirements may still apply.
