This is CleverReach GmbH & Co KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. Further information on data protection at Cleverreach can be found on the provider's website.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. The user's e-mail address is therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.
