Information exchange between our Website and your device is protected with TLS certificates, ensuring secure data transmission. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer (from version 11), Mozilla Firefox (from version 27), Google Chrome (from version 32), and Apple Safari (from version 7).

All personal data is securely stored within a protected server environment equipped with firewalls and advanced technology to prevent interference or unauthorized access. Authorized individuals, such as our employees, are issued usernames and passwords and are obligated by confidentiality agreements not to disclose personal data.

While we employ stringent security measures, it’s important to note that no data transmission method is entirely foolproof, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
