Yes, data protection and data security are compulsory for a successful business. This naturally includes full compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect on 25 May 2018. This regulation means that online merchants are obligated to ensure, among other things, that the store gives customers full rights regarding the processing of their personal data. These aspects are therefore always the top priority for the PrestaShop online store platform and in particular for IONOS as an internationally active hosting provider.

Furthermore, SSL encryption secures the data transfer between user and server according to the current industry standards. A corresponding SSL certificate is included in every qualified web hosting package from IONOS. Your website or PrestaShop uses the "https" protocol, which encrypts bank transactions, user data, and data transmission. Visitors to your online store or your entire website will always be able to browse around safely, check out your digital store window, and shop online without any worries.
