SSL or TLS encryption
 

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize 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.

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

According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:
 

• To obtain information about the personal data processed or its categories, the purposes of processing, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the intention to transfer data to a third country or an international organization, including appropriate safeguards, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;
