Anti-spam strategy
The FishEthoGroup association does not tolerate unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam). We do not send e-mail to anyone without their permission, and we do not sell or rent e-mail addresses to third parties. This does not mean that we can prevent spam on the internet.
If you believe that you have received an unsolicited email from us, please contact the relevant complaint address below.
Security
The protection of your data is important to us. We store, process, and secure your data on servers which are maintained and hosted in Switzerland and Germany and which are protected by physical and technical security measures. This includes enhanced firewall and password protection for our databases, physical access controls for our buildings and files, and restricting access to your personal data to employees and service providers who need this information to provide, develop and improve our services.
