IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PROTECTING YOUR DATA
IN TODAY'S NETWORKED WORLD, UNAUTHORISED ATTEMPTS TO ACCESS PERSONAL INFORMATION ARE A REALITY THAT PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES HAVE TO FACE EVERY DAY. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. BECAUSE DATA PROTECTION IS OUR TOP PRIORITY, WE INVEST IN AND CONSTANTLY MONITOR THE SECURITY OF OUR SYSTEMS. BECAUSE WHEN YOU BUY ONLINE AT WWW.BRANDACLE.COM, YOU ENTRUST US WITH INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF. THE SECURITY OF THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT TO US. SINCE YOU CAN ALSO DO A FEW THINGS TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST UNAUTHORISED ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION BY THIRD PARTIES, WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU SOME TIPS HERE ON HOW TO HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION SECURELY.
HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
BASICALLY, PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNT AND ALSO YOUR COMPUTER, LAPTOP OR MOBILE DEVICE WITH SECURE PASSWORDS AND PIN CODES THAT ONLY YOU KNOW! ALSO MAKE SURE TO LOG OUT AGAIN AFTER EVERY ONLINE PURCHASE ON WWW.BRANDACLE.COM. MAKE SURE THAT YOU ONLY EVER USE YOUR PASSWORDS FOR ONE ACCOUNT! NEVER USE ONE PASSWORD FOR DIFFERENT PROVIDERS OR PORTALS. CHECK WHETHER THE PASSWORD YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOUR ACCOUNT ON OUR WEBSITE IS ALSO USED ON OTHER WEBSITES, IF APPLICABLE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WE STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO CHANGE ALL PASSWORDS IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WRITE DOWN PASSWORDS IN A FREELY ACCESSIBLE PLACE. AGAIN, MAKE SURE THAT ONLY YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE PASSWORDS.
HOW DO YOU CREATE A SECURE PASSWORD?
PASSWORDS SHOULD BE CHOSEN SO THAT THEY CANNOT BE EASILY GUESSED, E.G. NO COMMON WORDS FROM EVERYDAY LIFE, YOUR OWN NAME OR NAMES OF RELATIVES. TO MAKE THE PASSWORD EVEN MORE SECURE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A COMBINATION OF UPPER AND LOWER CASE LETTERS, NUMBERS AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS. DO NOT USE PASSWORD MANAGERS OF THE COMMON WEB BROWSERS, AS THE PASSWORDS ARE OFTEN STORED HERE UNENCRYPTED OR NOT SUFFICIENTLY ENCRYPTED. A PASSWORD MANAGER SHOULD USE SUFFICIENTLY STRONG ENCRYPTION METHODS.
ARE THERE OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF?
IF YOU EVER USE A PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE COMPUTER, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOG OFF AFTER YOUR VISIT TO WWW.BRANDACLE.COM. IF YOU RECEIVE UNSOLICITED E-MAILS ASKING YOU TO PROVIDE PASSWORDS OR PAYMENT DETAILS WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC CONTACT, PLEASE IGNORE THIS AND CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY. WE WILL INVESTIGATE THESE INCIDENTS.
