However, we would like to point out that when transmitting data via the Internet, it is always possible that third parties may take note of your data or falsify it.
If you request us to do so, we will allow you to inspect the data we have stored about you or delete it. If you wish to correct, delete or view data, a letter to the above address will suffice.

Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted.
