data security

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a site operator.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
