As a rule, the IP address of your requesting computer is not fully collected or saved by us. Collection/storage only occurs in truncated and thus anonymized form, which means that the IP address no longer constitutes personal data under data protection law.

The following information will be recorded without any action on your part and stored until automatic deletion:

When you visit our website, we use the common SSL method (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption that is supported by your browser. Generally, this is 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256 bit encryption, we rely on 128 bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page on our website is encrypted on transmission from the key symbol or closed lock symbol in your browser’s lower status bar.

Apart from this, we implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties.

We have implemented security standards to protect the personal information you provide us using standards and technologies that are customary in the industry. We regularly review our system with regard to potential weak spots and attacks, and rely on a data center that is access-protected at the system level to protect your data that is stored on our servers.

However, because the Internet is not a completely secure environment, we are unable to offer any warranty or accept any liability for the security of the data which you transmit to us via the Internet.

There is no guarantee that information will not be access or disclosed, modified or destroyed as a result of penetration of our physical, technical and organizational security precautions.
