Litespeed Cache
This site utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site.
All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily.
Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
Google Web Fonts
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Security Processes
IDBOKX has in place appropriate technological and operational security processes designed to protect personal information. Only authorized employees and contractors will have access to any personal information provided by you, and that access is limited by need. Each employee or contractor having access to any personal information is obligated to maintain its confidentiality.
Although we take steps that are generally accepted as industry standard to protect your personal information, IDBOKX cannot guarantee that your personal information will not become accessible to unauthorized persons and IDBOKX cannot be responsible for any actions resulting from a breach of security when personal information is supplied over the internet or any public network.

These other websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to these websites.
