DATA SECURITY

When you visit our website the widely used SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method is used in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually this means the use of 256-bit encryption. If you browser does not support 256-bit encryption, the web server falls back to 128-bit v3 technology. The locked padlock or key icon in the status bar of your web browser indicates whether or not individual pages on our website have been transmitted using encryption.

We also implement suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. We continually improve our security measures as the technology develops. Therefore, we will continue to implement all necessary technical and organisational measures required to comply with statutory requirements.
