Personal Data

All information transmitted by the user to Handropolis is confidential and Handropolis has taken all necessary measures to use them only to the extent that is considered necessary in the context of provided services. Some of the measures that have been taken are the following:

Only authorized employees have access to information of your transactions and only to them thus it is necessary, e.g for the processing of your orders.

Handropolis does not reveal information about its customers and transactions to third parties, unless it has a written authorization from you or it is enforced by court decision or decision of other public authority.

The technical support of our system, e.g software problems troubleshooting, is undertaken only by authorized employees, who will have access to data of your transactions only if it is required.

You can anytime see any of your stored personal data and change part of them anytime using the option "My account", after you have logged in to the system. For security reason you don't have the ability to change by yourself your first name, last name, father's name, birth date and your country. You can, however, request correction of the personal data that you can't change in case you can prove the existence of mistake.

Finally, you have the ability if you want, to ask for the deletion of your user account including all your personal data.

Security

All data exchanged between the server of xantropolis.gr and your web browser e.g. your password, your email address, your name, your street address etc, is encrypted using the SSL protocol and a symmetric algorithm with encryption up to 256 bit. This way you ensure that no one will be able to read or modify any of the data you transferred via the Interent from server of xantropolis.gr to your computer and vice versa.

At the same time, xantropolis.gr uses an 2048 bit SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt which not only certifies that our website is secure and encrypted, but also its identity, so the users will know that it is the actual xantropolis.gr website and not a fake one. All modern web browsers typically, show on their address bar a padlock when you visit a website that uses an SSL certificate. By seeing that padlock you know that the website you just visited is not fake and that all communication between your web browser and the web server is encrypted.

The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, has been adopted worldwide as the safest protocol for the certification of websites to web users - and data encryption between web users and web servers. An encrypted SSL communication requires all information sent between a client and a server to be encrypted by the sending software and decrypted by the receiving software, protecting by this way any private information during the transport. In addition, all information sent using the SSL protocol is protected by a mechanism that automatically checks if the data has been changed during the transfer.

Passwords are stored in the database after the application of strong one-way hashing algorithm providing protection from unauthorized access to your account in case that the website receives a web attack. The application of the hashing algorithm guarantees that after the encryption of your password its description is impossible. Due to the usage of this security measure, we provide you the ability to change your password in case of loss, but we can't remind it to you.

Accepting credit, debit and prepaid cards for the payment of an order at xantropolis.gr is done exclusively via Stripe. Your card number as well as the rest of the information related to your card are being directly forwarded to the Stripe servers for the fulfillment of your payment for your order, and under no circumstances they get processed by the server of xantropolis.gr. The server of xantropolis.gr at no point has direct access to your card information, which makes it impossible to store in a database that could could potentially lead to it being leaked in the event of a data breach.

For your safety, you should also handle all the information that is provided through the service as secret and confidential and not make any disclosure of them to third parties. Also we recommend you to use a strong password for your account.
