A complete, gapless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

These data are also used for the prevention of threats in the event of attacks on our IT systems. The use and analysis of these data does not allow us to draw conclusions about the visitor. The information serves the purpose of correctly delivering the contents of our website, ensuring the functionality of our systems and website technology, and providing law enforcement authorities with the necessary information in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by us with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company. All anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject and are never combined with other data sources.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol displayed in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
