The Website performs the functions of obtaining information about users and their behavior in the following ways:

• Through data voluntarily entered in the forms, which are entered into the Operator’s systems.

2. Selected data protection methods used by the Operator

The login and entry points for personal data are protected in the transmission layer (SSL certificate). In this way, the personal data and login data entered on the website are encrypted on the user’s computer and can only be read on the target server.

The personal data stored in the database are encrypted in such a way that only those holding the Operator’s key can read them. This way the data is protected in case the database is stolen from the server.

User passwords are stored in hashed form. The hash function works unidirectionally – it is not possible to reverse it, which is now a modern standard for storing user passwords.

The Operator periodically changes its administrative passwords.

In order to protect the data, the Operator regularly makes backup copies.

An important element of data protection is the regular updating of any software used by the Operator to process personal data, which in particular means regular updates of programming components.
