Data Security
During your website visit, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we will use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognize whether an individual page of our website is transmitted encrypted by the closed key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

Furthermore, we employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. This applies in particular if you contact us on your own initiative via email. In this case, you are responsible for taking appropriate measures to transmit your data securely and protect it against unauthorized third-party access.
