PERSONAL DATA SECURITY
The internet traffic between this website and your browsing program is encrypted and transmitted through the HTTPS protocol using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
We are committed to keeping your personal data secure, as well as electronic transactions. We require, by contract, any trusted third party handling your personal data on our behalf to do the same.
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol is the global standard today for certifying internet sites to users and for encrypting information between users and internet servers. An encrypted SSL communication involves a process in which the information sent by a user to a server is encrypted by the sending software and decrypted only by the receiving software, protecting the information during its transmission. Additionally, all information transmitted via the SSL protocol is protected by a mechanism that automatically verifies if the data has been altered during transit. This way, we have the ability to encrypt all your personal information so that third-party interference is not possible during their transfer over the Internet. Each time you enter a page where a transaction of information or personal data is to take place, a padlock appears on your screen, ensuring that your transaction is protected.
The Kärcher Center Palaiologos online store in no way discloses or publishes the personal data and information of users. Personal data is used exclusively for the proper execution of transactions. All information is encrypted with absolute security.
