Notes on data security

Whilst the programme is processing, a secure connection (https, standard port: 443) to the Federal Plant Variety Office is established and the applicant’s address is transmitted in order to show this on the form. Therefore, it is no longer necessary for the applicant to enter their address manually. The connection is then closed.

When the completed form is sent, another secure connection (https, standard port: 443) to the Federal Plant Variety Office is established, which is closed again after the data has been successfully transmitted and the confirmation has been sent.

The form is not transmitted to the Federal Plant Variety Office by email for security reasons.
