Payment transactions via the common payment methods (direct debit, payment slip, credit card and instant bank transfer) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.

If you select the payment method "credit card", your data will be forwarded to service providers who process the credit card payment. For other payment methods, no data will be forwarded to third-party service providers on our part, as the data will be collected directly by forwarding it to their homepage.
