As the person in charge of processing, Apoticaria takes all necessary precautions to preserve the security and confidentiality of the data and in particular to prevent it from being distorted, damaged or accessed by unauthorized third parties.
Apoticaria has deployed a robust security system to ensure the utmost security of the data collected and to detect data breaches.

When using subcontractors, Apoticaria ensures that the subcontractors comply with the data protection regulations.
6.2. Rules applicable to bank data and the bank card
To ensure the security of payments, Apoticaria uses the services of a PCI-DSS certified provider, Stripe. This standard is an international security standard whose objectives are to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of cardholder data, and thus to secure the protection of card and transaction data.
When you place a credit card order with Apoticaria, our order taking system connects in real time with the Stripe system which collects your data and performs various checks to prevent abuse and fraud. The data is stored on Stripe's servers and is not transmitted to Apoticaria's servers at any time. Stripe makes the authorization request to the bank and sends us a transaction number that allows transactions up to the amount of the authorization.
In order to avoid having to re-enter your credit card information for future orders, you can choose to have your credit cards associated with your online account by checking the appropriate box. Your credit cards are stored securely with Stripe. You can consult the list of your registered cards (in hidden mode), but also delete all or part of its contents, in the "Cards" section. In this case, your deleted cards will no longer appear in your online account or in future orders.
In order to be able to debit the account at the time of invoicing or to credit it following a return, Stripe keeps the bank data associated with the authorization number, the time necessary to carry out the transaction (payments after shipment of the goods) and the processing of possible complaints (returns, disputes).
If you have chosen to register your credit cards, they are automatically deactivated when the validity date of the card expires.
