We are committed to protecting your privacy when we process personal data. The operators of this website take protecting your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in line with the legal data protection rules, as well as this Privacy Policy.

You can generally use our website without entering any personal data. Where we collect personal data (for example, name, address or email addresses), this is always voluntary as far as possible. We will not forward this data to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that there may be gaps in security when data is transferred on the internet (this applies to email communication, for example). We cannot guarantee any end-to-end protection of data against access by third parties.
