If you are under the impression that your data are not secure or there are indications of abuse, please get in touch with us.

We do not store data longer than necessary. This means that we store data as long as necessary to provide a requested service, except for data that we have to keep longer because the law obliges us to do so.

Third-party websites

This statement does not apply to websites belonging to or operated by third parties that are linked from our website.

Minors

Our website and/or service does not intend to collect data about website visitors who are under 16 years of age, unless they have obtained permission from a parent or legal guardian. However, we cannot check whether a visitor is at least 16 years old. Consequently, we encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children in order to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent. If you are convinced that we have collected personal information about a minor without this consent, please use the contact form to get in touch with us and we will delete this information.
