Data security

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries which you send to us in the role of site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We would like to point out, however, that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

To secure your data, we maintain technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO, which we continually adapt to the state of the art.

We also do not guarantee that our offer will be available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be ruled out. The servers we use are carefully backed up on a regular basis.

Transferring the data to third parties, no data transferring to non-EC countries

In principle, we only utilise your personal data within our company.

If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (such as logistics service providers), then they will only receive personal data to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("commissioned processing"), then we will contractually oblige the commissioned processors to only utilise the personal data in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to always ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.

There will not be any data transfer executed to entities or people located outside the EU.
