7. Security of your Data
Once Macherie receives your data, the procedures and security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access to them are activated.
General Controls: Controls are implemented on workstations (automatic locking, regular updates, configuration, physical security, etc.) to reduce the possibility to exploit software properties (operating systems, business applications etc.) to adversely affect personal data.
Electronic Data Storage: Some of your personal information will be stored in the database of this website. This data is stored pseudonimized meaning that the data requires additional processing using a separately stored “key” before it can be used to identify a person. Pseudonymization is another requirement of GDPR that we have implemented on this website.
File transfer: All web traffic (file transfer) between this website and your browser is encrypted and transferred via the 128-bit SSL protocol. Encryption is essentially a way of encoding the information until it reaches its intended recipient, who will be able to decode it using the appropriate key.
Card Details: We do not store the details of the cards that you use online. Your card details are not visible to Macherie, because you are automatically transferred to a safe banking environment to complete your order. You should also take all possible steps to prevent third parties from accessing your account, such as not disclosing your password.
We will report any unlawful breach of the database of this website or of our database to all interested parties, as well as the authorities within 72 hours of the violation, according to the provisions of GDPR.
Email: The data sent to us via email is protected through the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by a TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), meaning that email content is encrypted using 256-bit SHA-2 encryption before being sent over the Internet. The content of the email is decrypted by our local computers and devices. Additionally, our e-mail platform is hosted by Microsoft using Office 365, which is fully compatible with GDPR.
