[TYPO3-ect] partner management extension

[Dr. Ronald P. Steiner]

Hi Malte,

thanks for your comment. It is quite clear that newsletters are only 
sent to people who want to receive it, and it is also clear that data of 
a person is not shared with anyone else or publicized on the web without 
permission. But if someone fills in a form on my web page am I allowed 
to store this information for my use or not?

greetings

Ron
