6. Data Security

We use the popular SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method for visits to our website, in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. In general, this is a 256-bit encryption. The actual strength of encryption depends on the browser. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption or if you are using older versions of browsers, it can happen that encryption only takes place with 128, 56 or 40 bits, whereby always the best possible encryption for the respective browser is automatically used. Whether an individual page of our website is encrypted is shown by the closed representation of the key or lock icon in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
