With the exception of the provider of our website, your personal data will not be made available to third parties.
Data security
SPIM AG and its agents take the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure the highest possible level of security for the personal information collected and to protect it from loss and unauthorized access. However, complete security for data transmission on the Internet cannot be guaranteed, as the SPIM AG website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, SPIM AG cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. We also draw your attention to the fact that any data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) is generally not secure and SPIM AG assumes no liability for data that is transmitted to us via the Internet.
SSL encryption
In order to ensure the greatest possible security of your data during transmission at all times, we use the latest state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. SPIM AG uses Google Analytics with the “AnonymizeIP” extension, so that the IP addresses transmitted to Google are only processed there in abbreviated form in order to exclude direct personal reference (IP mask method). Google will use this information to evaluate your visit to the website, to compile reports on website activity for our website and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.

SPIM AG would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. The collection and storage of data for Google Analytics can be objected to at any time with future effect using a browser plug-in from Google ( https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de ). Please note that you have to object again if you remove the cookies in your browser or access the SPIM AG website with a different browser.
