Data Security

sonoro Audio GmbH implements appropriate technical measures to protect your data against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. Regular updates ensure legally compliant operation. We assume no liability for any damages, malfunctions, or usage restrictions resulting from missing or delayed software or system updates. Responsibility for performing these updates rests solely with the user.

To ensure that our privacy policy always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies if the privacy policy must be adjusted due to new or revised services, such as new service features. The current version of the privacy policy can be found at:

To ensure secure access via a network connection to your sonoro device, initial authentication is required when you:

• use an unknown mobile device,
