Amazon Simple Email Service

For sending emails (e.g. messages from contact forms or newsletter emails), we use the Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES). The provider is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (“AWS”).

Amazon SES is an email delivery service that enables us to reliably send emails via AWS infrastructure. The data required for email delivery (in particular, the email address, IP address, timestamp, and content of the message) is processed on AWS servers. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) in secure, reliable, and efficient email communication. If you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us via a form, processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent).

We have concluded a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with AWS in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, which ensures that personal data is processed exclusively in accordance with our instructions. Data processing takes place exclusively in data centers within the European Union, in particular in the regions “EU (Frankfurt)” or “EU (Ireland)”.
No transfer of personal data to third countries (e.g. the USA) takes place.
However, due to Amazon’s corporate structure, it cannot be completely ruled out that U.S. authorities may request access to data stored in the EU in individual cases.
AWS has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures as well as Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR) to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
