We protect personal data through suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure an adequate level of protection and to safeguard the privacy rights of the individuals concerned. These measures include:

Preventing Unauthorized Access: We implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access to our technical facilities and to protect personal data from unauthorized access by third parties.
Secure Data Transmission: For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as your contact inquiries sent to us as the site operator, we use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption.

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