We take special care to protect your Personal Data. Various technical and administrative measures are implemented to safeguard Data from unauthorized or illegal access, as well as accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures are regularly tested to ensure their effectiveness and reliability.
Firstly, we conduct regular malware scanning.
Certain Personal Data transmission is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Most browsers display a lock icon during such transactions, confirming the use of SSL, particularly when dealing with credit cards and other payment data.
In addition, we employ various technical protection methods such as data encryption, firewalls, and password protection.
We also adhere to the principle of data minimization, processing only the information necessary to perform specific functions or purposes, or provided by you with consent. Access to your Data is granted to a limited number of employees who need it to perform their duties. Our staff undergoes training to strictly follow privacy, security, and compliance policies.
Please note that email is not always a reliable means of transmitting information. We recommend not sending us Personal Data such as identification or credit card details via email. If you need to transmit such information, please use secure web pages on our Website if available.
Your Personal Data is stored on secure servers that are not accessible to the public. We make every effort to protect them, but no method of data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can ensure 100% security. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data. If a security breach is detected, we will try to notify you via email so you can take necessary measures. We may also post a notice on our Website. Depending on your location, you may have the right to receive written notice of such incidents.
In accordance with GDPR, we ensure an adequate level of protection when transferring data outside the European Economic Area, based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other applicable measures specified in Article 46 GDPR.
We employ a range of security measures to protect your data when placing orders via our Website.
After placing an order, you will be prompted to pay for the ordered services. All financial transactions are processed through an external payment provider, and credit card details are not stored or processed on our servers.
We use Stripe (provided by Stripe Inc.) as a third-party payment processor. Stripe allows us to process payments via credit cards, bank transfers, and other online methods.
The payment form on our Website directly transmits your credit card information to Stripe, where it is processed according to Stripe’s privacy policy. We receive only aggregated data about performed transactions, such as the amount needed to provide you with the vehicle history report.
