For example, data will be exchanged between your browser and our website using SSL encryption. You can tell whether an encrypted connection has been established, because your browser’s address bar will have changed from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol will be displayed in your browser bar. This means the data you submit will not be accessible to third parties.

In such cases, we will notify you in good time by email, on our website or in another form.
