4. Security Measures to Protect Your Data
4.1. Protection of Privacy
We are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. We have implemented extensive technical and organisational measures to prevent the manipulation, loss or misuse of the data stored by us. These measures are reviewed regularly and adapted to technological developments.
Where we collect and process data, we or our data processors handle your data on specially protected servers located within the EU. Access permissions are managed so that access is restricted to a small number of authorised individuals involved in the technical, commercial or editorial management of our website.
4.2. Encryption of Website Communications
Our security measures include the use of recognised encryption protocols, such as SSL or TLS.
However, due to the structure of the internet, we cannot guarantee that data protection principles and the security measures described above will be observed by other individuals or organisations outside our area of responsibility.
4.3. Unencrypted Communication
Data transmitted without encryption, for example by unencrypted email, may be read by third parties. We have no technical control over this. You are responsible for protecting the data you provide against misuse through encryption or other appropriate measures.
