1. Coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing and use of per­so­nal data
Per­so­nal data are only coll­ec­ted if you dis­c­lose them to us (e.g., by regis­tering for our news­let­ter). Other­wise, no per­so­nal data will be coll­ec­ted. Your per­so­nal data may be pro­ces­sed bey­ond the sta­tu­tory aut­ho­riza­tion con­di­ti­ons only on the basis of your express authorization.
As part of the regis­tra­tion for our news­let­ter, you pro­vide us with your email address and other optio­nal infor­ma­tion. We use these data solely for the pur­pose of sen­ding you the news­let­ter. When you regis­ter for our news­let­ter, we store your data until you can­cel your sub­scrip­tion to our news­let­ter. You can unsub­scribe at any time via the link in the news­let­ter inten­ded for this pur­pose, or by sen­ding us the appro­priate noti­fi­ca­tion. By unsub­scrib­ing, you revoke the use of your email address.

2. Use of Google Analytics
This web­site uses Google Ana­ly­tics, a web ana­ly­sis ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Ana­ly­tics uses “coo­kies”, which are text files pla­ced on your com­pu­ter, to help the web­site ana­lyze how users use the site. The infor­ma­tion gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie about your use of the web­site will be trans­mit­ted to and stored by Google on ser­vers in the United Sta­tes. In the event IP anony­miza­tion is acti­va­ted on this web­site, your IP address will be shor­tened before­hand by Google within mem­ber sta­tes of the Euro­pean Union or in other signa­tory sta­tes of the Treaty on the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area. The full IP address will be trans­mit­ted to a Google Ser­ver in the USA and shor­tened there only on an excep­tio­nal basis. Google will use this infor­ma­tion for the pur­pose of eva­lua­ting your use of the web­site, com­pi­ling reports on web­site acti­vity for web­site ope­ra­tors, and pro­vi­ding other ser­vices to web­site ope­ra­tors rela­ting to web­site acti­vity and Inter­net usage. Google will not asso­ciate the IP address trans­mit­ted under Google Ana­ly­tics by your brow­ser with other data held by Google. You may pre­vent the sto­rage of coo­kies by sel­ec­ting the appro­priate set­tings on your brow­ser soft­ware; howe­ver, we must advise you that in this case, you might not be able to use all func­tions of this web­site to the full ext­ent. You may pre­vent Google from recor­ding the data gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie and per­tai­ning to your use of the web­site (inclu­ding your IP address), or pro­ces­sing these data by down­loa­ding and instal­ling the fol­lo­wing brow­ser plug-in available through the fol­lo­wing link. In view of the dis­cus­sion on the use of ana­ly­sis tools with com­plete IP addres­ses, we wish to advise you that this web­site uses Google Ana­ly­tics with the expan­sion “_anonymizeIp()”; the­r­e­fore, only abbre­via­ted IP addres­ses will be fur­ther pro­ces­sed, so that a direct con­nec­tion to the indi­vi­dual user is eliminated.

4. Piwik
This web­site uses Piwik, a web ana­ly­tics open-source soft­ware. Piwik uses “coo­kies”, which are text files pla­ced on your com­pu­ter, to help the web­site ana­lyze how users use the site.
