Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We thus process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal regulations (GDPR, Telecommunications Law 2003). In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within our website.
This website uses SSL encryption for reasons of security and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as the data that you enter in our online registration. You can identify an encrypted connection in that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and a lock symbol appears in your browser bar.
When SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties. We wish to point out that data transfer over the Internet (such as communication by e-mail) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from being accessed by third parties.
