You can see whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock icon in your browser’s status bar.
We also employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from 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.
