If you want to receive our newsletter, we need your email address and information to verify that you are the owner of the email address and agree to receiving the newsletter. To ensure a consent-based newsletter delivery, we use the so-called double-opt-in process.

The storage of your email address serves the purpose of being able to send you the newsletter.
