The website undertakes to apply technical and organizational measures capable of protecting personal data from unauthorized access and from situations of destruction, loss, alteration, communication or dissemination of such data.
To ensure security, solutions will be adopted that take into account: the appropriate techniques; the costs of implementation; the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing; and the risks to the rights and freedoms of the user.
The website uses an SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certificate, which ensures that personal data are transmitted securely and confidentially, so that the transmission of data between the server and the user, and back, takes place in a fully ciphered or encrypted manner.
However, the website disclaims liability where the fault lies exclusively with a third party, as in the case of an attack by hackers or crackers, or exclusively with the user, as in the case where the user transfers their own data to a third party. The website further undertakes to notify the user within an appropriate period if any breach of the security of their personal data occurs that may cause a high risk to their personal rights and freedoms.
A personal data breach is a breach of security that leads, accidentally or unlawfully, to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or unauthorized access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.
Finally, the website undertakes to treat the user's personal data confidentially, within the legal limits.
