By using the Website, you consent to us transferring your data to these countries.

We may in any event retain and use such data as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, maintain accurate accounting, financial and other operational records, resolve disputes, and enforce our rights connected to your use of the Website.

The Website is not aimed at children and visitors are asked to confirm that they are 18 years or older. We do not target, intend to collect, or knowingly collect or otherwise process information from anyone under the age of 18.
10. Data security
We take commercially reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. Accordingly, we store all the personal information you provide on secure (password- and firewall-protected) servers. You also acknowledge that no technical and organisational measures can fully eliminate security risks connected with the transmission of information over the internet. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. We use the common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. Whether a single page of the Website is transmitted in encrypted form is indicated by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. You are responsible for keeping the account information (user name/password) for accessing the Website confidential.
11. Validity of this privacy notice
Due to the further development of the Website and offers above or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this Privacy Notice. We therefore reserve the right to update and modify this Privacy Policy from time to time.
