You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" and the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For hosting our website and displaying page content, we use a provider who performs its services either directly or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.
