2. Selected Data Protection Methods Used by the Operator

Login areas and areas for entering personal data are protected at the transmission layer (SSL certificate). As a result, personal data and login details entered on the website are encrypted on the user’s computer and can be read only on the target server.

Personal data stored in databases are encrypted in such a way that only the operator, possessing the appropriate key, can read them. This protects data in case of a database breach.

User passwords are stored in hashed form. The hashing function is one-way, meaning it cannot be reversed — this is the modern standard for storing passwords.
