1.6 Cookies.

Ble Collection uses Cookies as part of the convenience and operation of the services through its website. Cookies are small files that are sent and stored on your computer by allowing websites such as www.blecollection.com, to function seamlessly, collect your selections, identify frequent users, facilitate your access to it, and to collect data to improve the content of the site. In this way, our site remembers your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) for a period of time, so you do not have to enter these preferences each time you visit the site. You can delete or block access to these cookies, but if you do make certain features of the site may not work well. For more information about cookies, visit https://ec.europa.eu/info/cookies_en .

 

 

1.7 Third-party websites.

This Data Protection Policy applies only to the website www.blecollection.com  and does not cover links to other websites, and therefore, the information collected by the parties owning and controlling such websites, or the use of their Cookies.

 

 

1. 2.        The security of our e-shop.

Ble Collection is committed to ensuring the security and integrity of the data it collects in relation to the users of www.blecollection.com . Ble Collection has adopted procedures to protect your personal data that are either submitted to the website or provided by telephone. These procedures protect your personal data from any unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, misuse or destruction. They also help to verify that these items are accurate and are used correctly. This security is achieved by the following methods:

2.1 Customer Recognition.

The codes used to identify you are two: Entry Code (E-mail or username) and the Personal Security Password, which each time you enter them give you access with absolute security to your personal information.

You have the ability to change your Personal Security Password and your e-mail address as often as you like. The only person who has access to your information is you through the above codes and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy and hiding it from third parties. In case of loss or leakage, you must immediately notify us, otherwise Ble Collection's online store is not responsible for the use of the password by an unauthorized person. For security reasons, we recommend that you change your password at regular intervals and avoid the use of the same and easily detectable codes (e.g., birth date). We also recommend that you use not only letters and numbers but also symbols and password creation.

2.2 Ensuring the Privacy of Your Personal Data Transfer.

To ensure the confidentiality of data transfer, we use the SSL-128bit encryption protocol. The system has been certified by ESET, which specializes in transaction security issues.

2.3 Controlled Access (Firewall).

Access to Ble Collection (servers) systems is controlled by a firewall, which allows the use of specific services by customers / users, while prohibits access to data systems and databases with confidential data and company information.

 

2.4 Encryption.

The Ble Collection system first decrypts the information it receives using the same key (pre-defined at the start of your connection to the service) and then processes them. Ble Collection systems send you information by following the same encryption process.

Encryption is essentially a way of encoding the information until it reaches its intended recipient, which will be able to decode it using the appropriate key. When ordering and if the user / customer is logged in with their username and personal code at the Ble Collection online store, all communication between your computer and Ble Collection systems is encrypted using a 256-bit key. That is, every time you send information to the system, your browser encrypts it first using a 256-bit key and then sends it to the system.

The Ble Collection system first decrypts the information it receives using the same key (pre-defined at the start of your connection to the service) and then processes them. Ble Collection systems send you information by following the same encryption process. At any point of the www.blecollection.com  website you enter personal data (password, addresses, phones, credit cards, etc.) there is SSL encryption 256 bits.

2.5 Children.

By providing your consent, you declare responsibly that you are over 16 years of age. If you are under 16, you can use our website and its services only with the participation and approval of a parent or guardian.

1. 3.       Updates and changes.

The www.blecollection.com  website is constantly being updated and expanded both in terms of functionality and of products and services, which also renews the current privacy policy. We encourage you to read this page at regular intervals to be informed of any changes to the contents of this protection policy.

Unfortunately, no security system is guaranteed 100% safe. Therefore, we do not take responsibility for access, alteration or loss of your personal data, which is due to external factors beyond our sphere of influence or for reasons of force majeure. By using this website, or by providing personal information to us in any way, you agree that we may contact you electronically with regard to security, privacy and administrative matters relating to the use of the Site by you.
