Collection, processing and use of personal data
If your name, telephone number, e-mail address or other personal data is collected, processed and used for special campaigns, you will be informed of this at the appropriate point. If personal data is collected, processed and used on the pages of the Business Community, the provisions of data protection law are complied with. In particular, the data is treated confidentially.

Nevertheless, the Business Community cannot accept any responsibility or liability for the disclosure of your data due to errors in data transmission and/or unauthorised access by third parties.
SSL encryption
The Business Community pages use SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to the Business Community as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you send to the Business Community cannot be read by third parties.
