Use of Personal Details
Personal details are collected to make communication and use of service possible.

Handovers of the Information
The information may be handed over for research purposes as described in the Terms of Use that the user accepts before starting to use the service. The researchers may not publish any research results so that identifying information would be revealed or that any specific user could be detected.

Register Protection Principles
The information is stored on computers. The access to the information is restricted with passwords and physical access to the computers is restricted by the server hosting company.
