Your data will not be sold or rented.

ERGONTOTIS guarantees the security of personal data through appropriate physical, electronic and procedural procedures.

Without prejudice to these guarantees, you should always take all precautions to protect your personal data while using the internet, namely by frequently changing your passwords and ensuring the use of a browser that allows the use of SSL communication.

ERGONTOTIS has implemented a data protection management system that constitutes a governance model for this sector, in order to ensure the existence of the ideal conditions for the protection of users’ personal data.

This system involves the implementation of physical and logical access control measures, secure data storage, the guarantee of safeguarding in the event of accidental destruction or disaster recovery, confidentiality measures with employees and service providers, restriction of access to data that are strictly essential, and a process of auditing and compliance verification.

In addition to the legal and technical restrictions implemented within the organisation, all systems are subject to automatic auditing of all relevant operations, ensuring traceability in the event of a personal data breach.
