Ασφάλεια προσωπικών δεδομένων

The Company is committed to safeguarding your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal data you provide on computer systems to which access is restricted, and located in controlled facilities. We use a number of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. The Company complies with the applicable laws on personal data protection, including the laws on notification in case of breach of security. Our website uses the transaction security protocols of financial institutions and / or other legal entities treated as such (eg Paypal) for secure online commercial transactions. This encrypts your credit card information so that it cannot be decrypted or altered when transferred over the Internet. Additionally, the information used to identify you as an account user is twofold: the Password and the Personal Security Code (Password). Each time you enter your details, you are given access to your personal account. The specific process is achieved safely during their transfer to the internet and the servers of the Company. By the same token, you are allowed to change your Personal Security Password as often as you wish. After entering the desired code, the new code is coded and stored in the systems of the Company and cooperating third companies, such as companies that undertake the maintenance of our systems. For this reason, you are the only one who knows your password and you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password by third parties.

These measures shall be reviewed and amended as necessary.
