Transfer of data
Your data is in good hands. We promise you that: We will not sell your personal data to third parties, nor lease it to other companies for advertising purposes.
We only share your personal information with third parties if:
- you have given us explicit consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR
- to the extent permitted by law and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR necessary for the settlement of contractual relationships with you, your personal data will be passed on to third parties. This includes credit institutions, postal and courier services and logistics companies.
- External service companies process data on our behalf as a processor. Your data is subject to the same privacy standards as ours. The recipient of the data may only use the data for the purposes for which the data was transmitted to them. The external service providers include data centres and companies that support us in the maintenance of computer equipment and IT applications.
- in the event that disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR there is a legal obligation.
- disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding interest in not disclosing your data.

SSL Encryption
Personal data on this website are transmitted only in an encrypted form, using the TLS encryption method (Transport Layer Security, also known as SSL, Secure Sockets Layer). The TLS v1.2 method used is at this time one of the safest ways to encrypt data.
Through the application of the SSL encryption, your data will be mutated so that a third party could not reconstruct it before it is transmitted to the our server. This encryption procedure also ensures that your data will be sent exclusively to the server from which it was requested. Once the data is received by the our server, it is verified in regards to completeness and immutability.
Personal data
Pursuant to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
Personal data is therefore any data that is personally available to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, phone number or IP address.
