Scope

Basler & Hofmann Slovakia s.r.o. treats your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory regulations. With this privacy policy, we want to inform you about the use (collection, processing and utilisation) of personal data. All individual details that can be used to establish your identity and which can be traced back to you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address) qualify as personal data.

Through the implementation of the required technical and organisational measures, it is ensured that the protection of the personal data processed via this website is guaranteed. Our website is protected with an SSL certificate. This means that all data connections are encrypted.
