Unless we expressly agree in writing, these elements may not be copied, sent, made available, presented, performed, modified, translated, or utilized.

4. App Security

4.1.
We ensure our internal network protection with a firewall. We protect our internal network with multi-level firewall protection. In all cases, a hardware firewall (border protection device) is located at the entry points of the applied public networks. The data is stored redundantly, that is, in several places, so it is protected from destruction, loss, damage, or illegal destruction due to the failure of the IT device.

4.2.
Our internal networks are protected from external attacks with a multi-level, active protection against complex malicious code (e.g., virus protection). The external access to the IT systems and databases is operated by us using SSH key identification via an encrypted data connection from any IP address. Our IT tools and software continuously comply with the generally accepted technological solutions in the market. When the App communicates with the medical backend, it always uses HTTPS-based encryption.

5. Warranty
