Measures taken to guarantee data security

We make every effort, in compliance with current guidelines on the subject, to maintain the integrity, security and privacy of data, and, in particular to prevent them from being distorted, damaged or accessed by unauthorised third parties, including during operations carried out by subcontractors.

We protect the security of your personal information during transfer, by using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) software which encrypts the information which you enter before it is transferred to us.

We implement continuous physical and electronic security measures and back-up procedures for the collection, storage and communication of our customers’ personal information. Our security procedures may require us to ask for proof of your identity before we can send you your personal information.

It is important that we protect you against unauthorised access to your password and computer. If you share a computer, you must close your session after each use.

Likewise, to guarantee a high level of security, your account password should consist of at least: 8 characters, 1 digit and 1 special character.

Notification and corrective measures in case of a leak

No-one is completely safe from an accident or malicious attack. Hence, if you were to be affected by a security breach, Saint Bernard undertakes to notify the regulatory authority, if possible, within 72 hours, and also to inform you as soon as possible.

Likewise, we undertake to take all possible measures to minimise the impact.
