The Operator is the Controller of your personal data with regard to data voluntarily provided through the Website.

Your personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

operating a newsletter,

The Website collects information about users and their behaviour in the following ways:

2. Selected Data Protection Measures Used by the Operator

Areas of the Website where users log in or enter personal data are protected at the transmission level by an SSL certificate. This means that personal data and login information entered on the Website are encrypted on the user’s device and can only be read by the destination server.

Personal data stored in the database is encrypted in such a way that it can only be read by the Operator holding the decryption key. This helps protect the data in the event of unauthorized access to the server database.

User passwords are stored in hashed form. Hashing is a one-way process, which means the original password cannot be recovered. This is the current industry standard for secure password storage.

The Operator changes administrative passwords periodically.

To minimize the risk of unauthorized access, the Operator uses strong passwords containing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, with a minimum length of 8 characters.

An important part of data protection is the regular updating of all software used by the Operator to process personal data, including in particular the regular updating of software components.

To protect data against loss, the Operator also performs regular backups.
