TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES

We use reasonable administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures (a) to safeguard Personal Data against loss, theft, unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification; and (b) to ensure the integrity of your Personal Data. We have also taken all necessary steps to ensure business continuity and disaster recovery via secure back-up of data.To help us protect your privacy, you should maintain the secrecy of any logon IDs and passwords, or other identifiers or credentials you may have set up or were provided with in connection to your participation in or use of our products, services, or website.

We use a secure online transmission procedure, the so-called “Secure Socket Layer” (SSL) transmission, to protect the personal data of our users.

Your personal data will be stored on our servers which are located in the European Economic Area. We do not transfer your data to any third party outside the EEA.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EU/EEA.

COMMUNICATION WITH YOU

As you may be aware, there is no absolutely secure method of transmitting or storing data online. Although their physical characteristics are different, postal mail, telephone calls, text messages, faxes and transmissions over the Internet or wireless networks all present possibilities of loss, misrouting, interception and misuse of the data that is transmitted. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, you must immediately contact Epico. 

We try to strike a balance between the security of your data and your convenience. As a result, we may sometimes use a method of communication that is more convenient for you without necessarily applying the highest standards of security online. For  example, you might receive an e-mail or a text message in an unencrypted format (i.e. instantly readable) as many of our customers are unable to access encrypted (i.e. coded) e-mails or messages. This means that our message, if misrouted or intercepted, could be read more easily than an encrypted email or message. Such messages may contain personal data. We strongly advice you not to include confidential information, such as your credit card number or account passwords, in any e-mail or text you send to us or to any posts online, in social media or in other websites or while writing a review for us, as this information becomes publicly available to an indefinite number of users. For a more secure way to communicate with us over the Internet, please use on the contact form on our website.
