Security of your personal data

Online transactions between this website and your browser are encrypted and transmitted over the HTTPS protocol using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

We are committed to protecting your personal data, including all electronic transactions. We contractually require any trusted third party that handles your personal data on our behalf to do the same.

Today, the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol is the world's leading technology for authenticating website users and encrypting data shared between users and web servers. SSL-encrypted communications involve a process in which all information exchanged between the user and the server is encrypted by the sending software and decrypted by the receiving software, thus ensuring the protection of personal data during transmission. In addition, all information sent via the SSL protocol is also protected by a mechanism that verifies whether it has been modified during transmission. In this way, we can encrypt all your personal data and prevent third parties from accessing it during its online transmission. Every time you enter a website where data or personal information is exchanged, a padlock icon will appear on your screen, confirming that your transaction is protected.

The online store emporas.gr does not disclose or make public personal data and information of users. Personal data is used exclusively for the proper execution of transactions. All information is securely encrypted.
