This is the case both during data transfer and storage on our servers.

Use of your data

During data processing, your concerns with regard to data protection are taken into account at all times in accordance with the legal provisions. We process your personal details for order processing and to maintain our customer relationships.

Our technical standards

During data transfer, we use the so-called SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security system in combination with a 128-bit encryption. This technology offers maximum security and is therefore also used, for instance, by banks as data protection during Online banking. You can see whether data are being transmitted in an encrypted manner in the locked depiction of a key and/or lock symbol in the bottom status bar of your browser.

Security During Payment Transactions

All types of payment are comprehensively protected by the above-mentioned security standards.
