-Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol: Transport layer security, or TLS, is a cryptographic protocol that protects the data exchanged over a computer network. TLS has become popular as S in HTTPS. More specifically, TLS is used to protect web user data from network attacks. This protocol uses both asymmetric (public key) and symmetric (password / phrase based) encryption. This means that it uses only public keys, so that clients and servers can exchange a symmetric key securely. This key can then be used to encrypt all subsequent communications.

Additionally TLS 1.3 offers an extension that encrypts SNI information. Used properly, this extension prevents intruders from leaking the remote server domain name, so they have no HTTPS history tracking method. This feature gives Internet users more privacy than previous versions of TLS.
-Personal data collected from the contact forms are sent encrypted and stored in the e-mail of the company or in the special program available on our website to maintain the history of communications made through the respective form.
