8. Technical aspects

8.1 When you give us personal data, we take steps to ensure that appropriate technical and organizational controls are in place to protect it.

8.2 Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

8.3 We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse, and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal data in our possession. This includes, for example, firewalls, password protection and other access and authentication controls. We use SSL technology to encrypt data during transmission through public internet.

8.4 However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. If you believe your personal data has been compromised, please contact us.

8.5 If we learn of a security systems breach, we will inform you and the authorities of the occurrence of the breach in accordance with applicable law.

8.6 The hosting facilities for our website are situated in Germany and France.
