When visiting this website, the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure is used in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by the user's browser. This is usually a 256 bit encryption. If the browser used by the user does not support 256-bit encryption, 128-bit v3 technology is used. The encrypted transmission of a page of this website can be recognised by the key or lock symbol in the status bar of the browser.

In addition to SSL encryption, technical and organisational security measures are used to protect data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. These security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
