REVOKE YOUR CONSENT TO DATA COLLECTION

Many data collection practices are only possible with your explicit consent. Once issued,  this consent can be revoked at any time. In order to do this, you need only send us a message by e-mail. This does not effect the legality of data collection that has occurred until the retraction of consent.

The activation of SSL and TLS encryption prevents third parties from reading information you send to us via this website.
