transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol or by the use of https before the
address of our (sub)website. We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your
data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by
third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
