Some recipients may be located outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA).

However, please note that transmitting information over the internet carries inherent risks. Despite our safeguards, data you send online may be unlawfully accessed or used by third parties (e.g. through hacking, interception of faxes or phone calls). We assume no liability for such incidents beyond our control.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations and to defend against possible liability claims. Inquiries submitted via the contact form or email are stored for six months to process potential follow-up questions, unless longer retention is legally required.
