In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probability of occurrence and severity of the risk for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we make suitable technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk; The measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, forwarding, ensuring availability and their separation. In addition, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and reaction to data threats. Furthermore, we already consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).

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

In spite of all the preventive measures taken by us, security in the context of internet depends on all parts involved (companies, service providers, provider and clients). The data transfer may involve unknown gaps in security. A complete protection of data from being accessed by third parties is especially in case of intent not possible.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met.
