We take reasonable technical and organisational security measures that we deem appropriate to protect your stored data against manipulation, loss, or unauthorised third-party access. Our security measures are continually adapted to technological developments.

The security of your personal data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

We recommend using antivirus software, a firewall, and other similar software to safeguard your system.
