Security of Your Personal Data
The internet traffic between this website and your browser is encrypted and transferred via the HTTPS protocol using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
We are committed to keeping your personal data and electronic transactions secure. We contractually require every trusted third party handling your personal data on our behalf to do the same.
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol is today the global standard for certifying websites to users and encrypting data between users and web servers. An encrypted SSL communication involves a process where the information sent from a user to a server is encrypted by the sending software and decrypted only by the receiving software, thus protecting the information during its transfer. Additionally, all information sent via the SSL protocol is also protected by a mechanism that automatically verifies whether the data has been altered during transfer. This way, we can encrypt all your personal information so that third parties cannot intervene during its transfer over the Internet. Each time you access a page that will conduct a transaction involving personal or financial information, a lock icon will appear on your screen, ensuring that your transaction is protected.
The monk.gr online store does not disclose or publicize any personal data or user information.
Personal data is used exclusively for the proper execution of transactions. All information is encrypted with absolute security.
