In the individual case, we cannot inform the customer that and to whom we transmit the information, as this frequently proves to be impossible or would require a disproportionate effort.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we do not make any warranties or guarantees that content shall be entirely 100% secure nor do we accept any liability of whatsoever nature for loss of privacy resulting from any unauthorised disclosure and/or use of your Personal Information, unless such disclosure and/or misuse is because of our gross negligence.
