What we keep: your email address, its status (awaiting confirmation, confirmed, unsubscribed), when you subscribed, when we sent the confirmation link, when you confirmed or unsubscribed, and which form you used. No tracking pixels, no link tracking, no profiles.
Why: only to send the emails you asked for. The basis is your consent, given when you click the confirmation link; you can withdraw it at any time.
