In addition, MailChimp may use these data in order to optimize and improve their own services (technical optimisation of mailings and presentation of newsletters or for scientific purposes, e.g. for evaluation where the recipients come from). However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter subscribers in order to contact them on MailChimp’s own behalf, neither does MailChimp pass on the data to third parties.
We trust on the reliability and the IT as well as data safety of MailChimp. MailChimp is a company certified with the “Privacy Shield” according to the US-EU data protection agreement and therefor bound to meet the European data protection guidelines. We closed a “Data-Processing-Agreement” with MailChimp. This is a contract binding MailChimp to protect the privacy of our users by meeting data privacy guidelines and not to pass data on to third parties.
