Deletion / blocking of personal data

An important principle of the GDPR is data avoidance and data economy. Our company adheres to these principles and we only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or in accordance with the legal retention periods. After the loss of a legal basis (contract, consent, legal regulation,...) we routinely delete or block this data.

Security of your data

We take all reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect your information. All webpages that request information from you are encrypted before being transmitted to us. This provides the best possible protection against unauthorized access.

A direct assignment of the personal data to a specific user will not take place, so that an identification to individual page visitors will not take place.
