Security of data transmission
Please note that data transmitted via an open network such as the
Internet or an e-mail service may be viewed by other people. We cannot
guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents transmitted via
open networks of this kind. If you disclose personal information on an
open network, you should be aware that third parties may be able to
access this information and consequently gather and use the data
without your consent. Even if the sender and the recipient are located
in the same country, data transmitted via such networks frequently
passes through third countries, i.e. countries that may not offer the
same level of data protection as your home country.
In the case of certain services, your data will be transmitted in encrypted form. In such cases, you will be informed about how the data is treated and given details of the encryption used.
During transmission, your data may be lost or may be intercepted by unauthorized third parties. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission via the Internet and accept no liability for direct or indirect losses. You are requested to use other means of communication should you consider this to be necessary or advisable for security reasons.

Protection, processing and use of personal data

which access is restricted. We have taken appropriate technical and
organizational measures to ensure that only authorized persons can
access these servers, and our technical environment is protected in
accordance with generally recognized security standards (e.g. by means
of firewalls).
