We take all necessary technical and organisational security measures to prevent and minimise risks related to the provision of your personal data. These measures include, where applicable, the use of firewalls, secure server installation, implementation of appropriate access rights management systems and processes, careful selection of tools, and any other measures necessary to ensure adequate protection of your personal data against unauthorised use or disclosure. For online transactions, we use standard security measures, such as those available via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect the confidentiality and security of online transactions.

However, security breaches and errors may occur, and we cannot guarantee the complete security of personal information. Except for financial transactions, you should be aware that the Website is not encrypted.
