We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

PROCESSORS, RECIPIENTS
We process your personal data with the support of processors who assist us in providing our services (e.g. web hosting providers, email newsletter delivery services).
These processors are obligated to strictly protect your personal data and may not process your personal data for any purpose other than providing our services.
Your personal data is only passed on to typical business service providers such as banks (in the case of transfers to you), tax advisors (if you appear in our accounting), shipping service providers (in the case of deliveries to you), etc.
SSL AND 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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
