Moreover, this information as well as in some cases further details on the collection, processing and use of personal data, you will find wherever and whenever we ask you to provide suchlike information.

Information Collected by us

Protection of the Private Sphere of Children in the Web

Personal data of children are not deliberately collected or used in any form by FROGRESS GmbH.
