• Newsletter 

We are happy to send you a newsletter because you are a customer of ours or because you have registered yourself. We therefore process your name and e-mail address to send you information and news. We offer the option to unsubscribe under each newsletter. We keep your data for this purpose until you have unsubscribed yourself.
