If you provide feedback on any of our message boards (leaving a comment) or via email (when visitors leave comments on the website we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection).
5. NEWSLETTER
With your consent (art 6 1a GDPR) you can subscribe to our newsletter which informs you about our latest news and updates. For the subscription we use the double-opt-in method.

If you do not confirm your subscription with 24 hours, your information will be deleted.
Data required for the reception of the newsletter: We ask for your name, your email address and your consent of us sending you the newsletter.
