Artis Gilding & Restoring recognizes the importance of the security of your personal data and electronic transactions. Toward this end, we take every necessary measure, using the most modern and developed methods, to safeguard user security to the greatest possible degree. All information related to your personal data and transactions are secure and private. The security that governs each interaction with the electronic shop of Artis Gilding & Restoring is secured and achieved with the following methods:

Customer Recognition

Two elements are used to recognize every member: Username and Password. Each time they are validated together they provide you with access to your personal information with complete security.

Of course, each member is given the ability to change his personal password and e-mail address, as often as he or she desires. Each member is exclusively responsible for maintaining the secrecy of his or her personal access information and its concealment from third parties. In case it is lost or leaked, he or she should immediately notify the administrator of the webpage. If the user fails to do this, the electronic shop of Artis Gilding & Restoring does not bear any responsibility for the use of a member’s password by a non-authorised person.

For reasons of security, each user is advised to change his or her password regularly and to avoid using older and easily guessed passwords (such as date of birth). Additionally, we recommend the use of not only letters and numbers but also symbols in the password creation process. Security is better ensured by increasing the complexity of a password.

Guarantee of Privacy for the Transfer of Personal Data

In order to ensure privacy in the transfer of personal data, we make use of SSL protocol encryption.

Transaction Privacy

Maintenance of privacy is of obvious importance and constitutes a commitment of the company.

The same basic principles that govern in-person transactions are also valid in the case of e-commerce. All of the information that is sent by the user-member to Artis Gilding & Restoring is confidential, and Artis Gilding & Restoring has taken all of the necessary measures so that its use occurs exclusively to the degree judged necessary within the context of providing its services. Only authorized employees have access to information regarding the transactions of members and only when this is absolutely necessary, e.g. for the completion of orders.

This is a good opportunity to note that Artis Gilding & Restoring does not reveal the personal information of customers and their transactions unless there exists documented authorisation from you or this is imposed by the decision of a court or a decision of another public authority that falls under the relevant legislation.

Under the provisions of the decrees of chapter 7 of the existing legislation dealing with personal data, you can seek that any information whatsoever be kept about you, or ask for its correction when it is possible to show that an error has occurred.

For your personal security, you yourself must handle all information that you provide by means of the service, being highly confidential and private and so that there is no risk of its revelation to third parties.


PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

The personal information that you input anywhere on the pages and the services of the website artisgr.shop are saved exclusively for reasons concerning your transactions with us, improving the ability to provide services and ensuring the functioning of those same services. It is clearly not permitted for this information to be used by any other third party (except for those competent authorities as provided for in the law).

In each case, only specific, properly trained employees of Artis Gilding & Restoring have access to your personal information. Access to your personal data by persons without proper authorisation is explicitly forbidden. Every necessary measure for the security of your personal data has been put into place. In exceptionally rare, special cases, your personal data may be shared with businesses that cooperate with Artis Gilding & Restoring in order to support, promote and complete your transaction with us, but always on the condition that they fully guarantee that your personal information will not be subject to any illegal processing.
