About the data processing

You can read about how we process your data, where we save it (or have it saved), which security techniques we use and who can view the data below.

Microsoft Outlook

We use Microsoft Outlook services for our regular corporate email traffic. This party has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent abuse, loss or corruption of your and our data as much as possible. Microsoft does not have access to our mailbox, and we treat all our email traffic with the strictest confidence.
