DATA SECURITY

I use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in connection with the highest encryption level supported by your browser during website visits. Usually, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, I resort to 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognize whether an individual page of my website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

Furthermore, I use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
