The website uses SSL security, which can be identified by the padlock icon in the website’s URL; this symbol indicates that the connection is secure and protected by HTTPS.

It is possible that, despite all our security protocols, issues arising solely from third parties may occur, such as cyberattacks by hackers, or as a result of the user’s own negligence or recklessness.
In the event of security incidents that may pose a risk or cause significant harm to you or any of our users, we will notify those affected and the National Data Protection Authority of the incident, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Law.
