Data Protection

I recognise that any data provided by you to me is extremely important and I shall therefore be particularly sensitive in processing and storing such data. You accept that there are inherent security risks in transmitting data, such as emails, credit card or personal information via the Internet, because it is impossible to safeguard completely against unauthorised access by Third Parties. Nevertheless, I shall do what is reasonable to safeguard your data, subject to this cautionary limitation.

In particular, personal information will be transmitted via the Internet only if it does not infringe upon Third Party rights, unless the respective party has given prior consent in view of such security risks. Accordingly, I shall not be held liable for any damages incurred as a consequence of such security risks or for any related acts of omission on my part.

PLEASE SEE THE PRIVACY POLICY, STATED SEPARATELY.
