Privacy Policy

All information related to your personal information is secure and confidential. Security is achieved by the following methods:

Α. User Identification

a) The codes used to identify you as a user are two: the Password (e-mail or username) and the Personal Security Code (password), which each time they are registered provide complete security access to your personal information . It is possible to change the personal secret security code, as often as you wish. The user is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of this code and its concealment by third parties. In case of loss or leakage, we must notify you immediately, otherwise we are not responsible for the use of the secret code by an unauthorized person. Secret passwords are stored in our database using an encryption algorithm, making it impossible for even administrators to retrieve it, thus protecting the system even in the event of a malicious attack.

To ensure the confidentiality of the transfer of personal data, we use RSA encryption protocol, 2.048-bit. Encryption is essentially a way of encrypting information until it reaches its intended recipient, who will be able to decrypt it using the appropriate key (this is done automatically by the ssl protocol). Encryption and the use of ssl is mandatory on all pages, whether they contain sensitive data or not.

Β. Controlled Access – Security Systems

Access to our systems (servers) is controlled by a firewall, which allows the use of specific services by customers / users, while prohibiting access to systems and databases with confidential data and information of our business. All servers have an Antivirus service that scans for potential malware that could cause data leaks. For server management, access is only allowed through a VPN service to which only our technical team has access, thus preventing any access from a public network, even if the administrators’ access data is leaked for any reason. The filesystem of the servers is encrypted, so that even if someone has physical access to a server with our data, they cannot decrypt the data.

C. Back Up

We keep daily backup copies of all data to prevent any hardware failure in a safe place. Copies are automatically deleted from our systems having as maximum lifespan of one month. Copies are stored in the same datacenter but in a separate storage unit, having exactly the same access and protection principles as the original data. Backups are stored encrypted so that even if they are leaked, they cannot be retrieved.

D. Data Leakage

If we notice any case of data leakage, either from a malicious attack on our systems, or from a user error, our actions are as follows:

a) Temporarily shut down the application, until we ensure that any security gap is closed

b) Immediate notification of users and / or customers about the violation, its size and in case the error has come from a member, the possible way of dealing with

c) Immediate notification of any authority is responsible depending on the type of leak (eg in case of malicious attack the cybercrime department of the Greek police is notified)
