We only use your data if it is necessary, for example to purchase an admission ticket or if you contact us with a question. We may also ask your permission to use your data. For example, for a newsletter. You can always withdraw your permission.

How do we handle your data?

We store your data in secure systems. Only employees who need your data to do their job, can access these systems. Our employees must keep your data confidential. We will not keep your data longer than necessary. In this regard, we adhere to the statutory retention periods.
