3. Fonts
Fonts are served locally from our own server. No connection is made to third-party servers (e.g. Google Fonts); no data is transmitted to third parties in this process.
4. Newsletter and research kit (Brevo)
To send the newsletter, confirmation emails and toolkit emails we use the service Brevo. Provider: Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Sign-up uses the double opt-in procedure: after registering, your email address is first stored at Brevo with the status “pending” and you receive an email with a confirmation link; only after confirmation are you added to the mailing list. We process your email address, the language identifier, the origin of the sign-up (newsletter or toolkit) and the times of sign-up and confirmation. Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future (unsubscribe link in every email); after withdrawal we remove your address from our mailing lists and mark it as unsubscribed, so that no further emails are sent even if lists are imported in future (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Measurement of opens and clicks: by default Brevo records whether and when an email is opened and whether links it contains are clicked (tracking pixel and link rewriting). This processing is likewise based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and ends when you unsubscribe. A data-processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with the provider. Your data is stored on servers within the EU (France, Germany and Belgium). Brevo does, however, use sub-processors in third countries, in particular for content delivery and web application firewall, for the analysis of technical log data, and for support and maintenance by group companies in the USA, India and Canada. Depending on the recipient, these transfers are safeguarded by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses together with additional measures, or by an adequacy decision. The current list of sub-processors forms part of Brevo's data-processing agreement. Provider's privacy notice: brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy.
