If your browser does not support 256 bit encryption, we resort to 128 bit v3 technology. When a site of our Internet presentation is transmitted in an encrypted way, this is indicated by a closed key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser.

We apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulations, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access of third parties. Our security measures will be optimized continuously according to technical development.

When you apply for an employment or a traineeship with us (employment relationship), we preliminarily process your contact and application data only in order to decide upon your application (section 26 (1) Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG).
