15. Liability for Links
Our website may contain links to external, third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We therefore assume no responsibility for third-party content. The provider or operator of a linked website is always responsible for the content on the site. The linked site was checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No illegal content was discernible at the time of linking. Constant monitoring of the content on linked sites is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. If we become aware of an infringement, we will remove such links immediately.
16. Data Security
We have taken technical and organizational measures to protect your data from loss, alteration or unauthorized access. We continuously improve these security measures in line with technological developments. Our website uses the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for encryption. This guarantees the confidentiality of your personal data when transmitted over the internet.
17. Updates and Modifications
We may change or update portions of this privacy policy without prior notice. Please review the privacy policy before using our services to ensure that you are always up to date with any changes or updates.
