   This data does not allow for any conclusions to individual persons. This data will be saved for a short period in so-called server log data due to reasons of technical security (prevention of attacks).

   You can contact the specific compartments using the provided e-mail links. There is no disclosure of personal data to third parties in this context. The data is exclusively used for the processing of the conversation.
   By using this option, the data will be transferred unencrypted, which is why it cannot be excluded that unauthorized third parties also read this data whilst it is being transferred.
