However, MailChimp does not use the recipient data of our newsletter to contact recipients directly, nor do they pass the information on to third parties.

To protect your data in the USA, we have signed a data processing agreement with MailChimp based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp.
