Should any personal data be gathered (e.g. name, address, email address) this is consistently on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be shared with a third party without your explicit permission. We would like to indicate that the transfer of information on the internet (e.g. via email communication) can give rise to security gaps.
