How do we protect and safeguard your online privacy
We try to process all your information with great care and respect to your trust. We use different security measures to protect and safeguard your confidential information from being accessed, used, or disclosed in an unauthorized way by users both inside and outside of our company. Your private information is accessed only by us when you choose to contact us.
Our server and network are protected by secure firewall and anti-spyware systems against unauthorized access, that are updated regularly.
We use the World standard for Web security, the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption protocol to ensure that personal information provided to us is not visible to anybody else. When making a reservation through our online reservation system, transmitting your credit card information to us, in order to make sure that all data is safely transferred, the system uses the SSL-128bit encryption protocol, a secure server protocol which encrypts all your personal and credit card details. Web pages that use and follow the standards of Extended Validation SSL certificates are distinguished in the browser programs in Internet, first from the https prefix in the address (url) (which means that secure information transmission via an SSL connection is enabled) and second by the appearance of a padlock icon somewhere in the browser’s window. By clicking (or double-clicking) on it you can see the identity of the verified certificate owner and the certificate authority and details of the site’s security.
However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure against third-party access.. Although we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any personal information you transmit to our website. Please be aware that any transmission is at your own risk. We are not liable for any unauthorized access, or interception, or for any direct or indirect damage suffered by a customer or user.
