According to the applicable legal framework on data protection, some of this information is “personal data”, while you, as users, are characterized as “data subjects” and we, the Company, are the “controller” of your data.

 

This Policy aims at providing information in a clear and simple way about the data we process, the purpose and the legal ground for the processing, the recipients of your data and, finally, your rights and how you can exercise them.

2. Our key data processing principles

 

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data are processed in a fair and transparent way, in compliance with the applicable legal framework, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [Regulation (EU) 2016/679] and the national legislation, especially Greek Laws nr. 4624/2019 and 3471/2006.

 

To put it simply, this means that:

– We process your data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes, as defined in this policy. We do not process your data further for purposes incompatible to the original ones (purpose limitation).

 

– We only process data which are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes that we have set (data minimisation).

 

– We make every effort to ensure that your data are accurate and that you can ask for their correction or deletion where applicable (data accuracy).

 

– We keep your data in a form that permits your identification only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes that we have determined in advance, as described in this policy (storage limitation).

 

– We make every effort to ensure the security of your data, and to prevent, among others, any unauthorized or unlawful processing, and accidental loss, destruction, or damage (integrity and confidentiality).

 

To ensure the adequate protection of your data, the Company implements internal security policies, takes all appropriate technical and organizational measures, and trains its staff, which is bound by confidentiality and privacy clauses. In addition, we use technologies that ensure the security of your data, e.g., Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, as well as encryption and anonymization methods.

 

Our goal is to integrate information security and data protection principles in all aspects of the Company’s operation. In this context, we monitor the security measures on a regular basis and, if deemed necessary, we align them with the new best practices.

6. Cookies

 

Like most websites, we also use cookies and similar technologies so that we facilitate your browsing in the most effective way and gather some information about your navigation through our Website.

 

Cookies are small text files stored on the hard drive of your computer or any other electronic device you use to visit the Website. Cookies are unique to each web browser (web browsers including, e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.) and contain information relating to the websites you visit and the devices you use. Our policy also applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on the user’s device, including, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects and fingerprinting.

 

The cookies that our Website uses can be divided into the following categories:

 

Α. Essential cookies

 

These cookies relate to the storage of (or access to) information either for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or in order for us to provide a service explicitly requested by you. These cookies are exempt from the requirement of consent, which means that you cannot reject their use.

Β. Performance cookies

 

These cookies collect information about the way you use the Website, e.g. the pages you visit the most, the website from which your visit originated and other related information. These cookies collect aggregate statistical data which cannot be used to identify visitors individually. They are used for the sole purpose of analyzing traffic and improving the Website performance.

We use the information to compile reports that help us improve our Website.

Information about Google Analytics

 

We use Google Analytics for statistical audience measuring. Google Analytics, which relies on the use of cookies, is the most popular service for the collection and analysis of data regarding the behavior of visitors in websites. The purpose of using the Google Analytics service is to process data in order to optimize the Website, such as which page should be improved and how to make it easier to use, but also to conduct cost/benefit analysis for displaying ads.

 

Cookies are used to process certain information such as the visitor’s IP address, the time at which the visitor accessed the Website, the type of browser they are using, the location from which they accessed it, as well as the frequency of their visits. At each visit to the Website, this data is transmitted to Google’s servers. In case you also use other Google’s services, it is possible that your data will be processed in combination with other relevant information with the aim of profiling for advertising purposes. We have no control over Google’s policies and practices as far the processing of your data on its behalf is concerned. Further information on Google’s use of cookies and data processing in the context of Google Analytics can be found here.

 

Important note: In July 2020 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) invalidated the decision 2016/1250 of the European Commission regarding the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework.

 

Until this decision from the CJEU, data transfers to the USA including Google Analytics were based on this Framework. After the decision, data transfers are based on Standard Contractual Clauses provided by Google (article 46 GDPR) and, auxiliary, on your explicit consent, according to the terms set by article 49.1a GDPR, in the absence of an adequacy decision. Data subjects should be aware that their metadata may be used for profiling by Google and be transferred to the US and a competent public or security authority may be granted access to them according to the US legal framework.

 

In the context of Google Analytics, the Website uses the “Anonymize IP” feature provided by Google. As a result, your IP address is restricted by Google and anonymized as you access the Website. This measure is favored by EU data protection supervisory authorities as the best practice in the context of appropriate technical measures for data protection.

 

The same rules apply to the use of Mailchimp.

7. Where and for how long we store your data


Your data is stored on the Website’s server, which is hosted in a data center located within the European Economic Area (EEA). The data center is operated by a certified company that takes appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to avoid data breaches.

 

Your data is stored strictly for a period of time which is considered necessary for our processing purposes.

 

8. What are you rights and how you can exercise them

According to the applicable legal framework (mainly GDPR, Articles 12-22), you have a set of rights regarding the processing of your data by our Company.

 

In particular, you have the right:

 

1. To submit a request to the Website to be informed whether we process your data and, if so, what types of data (right of access).

 

2. To have inaccurate personal data rectified or completed if it is incomplete (right to rectification).

 

3. To request, under conditions, the erasure of the data (right to erasure).

 

4. To request, under conditions, the restriction of the data processing (right to restriction of processing).

 

5. To object, under conditions, to the processing of your data by us (right to object), especially with respect to the processing relating to marketing purposes.

 

6. To request the data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (right to data portability), as long as it is technically feasible.

 

7. In case of a data breach, which is likely to pose a high risk to your rights and freedoms, and as long as it does not fall under any of the exceptions provided in the General Data Protection Regulation and the national legislation, the Company has the obligation to communicate the breach to you without undue delay.

 

We have the right to request additional information necessary for your identification before you can exercise the rights described above.

 

In principle, the Company has the obligation to respond to your request promptly and, at the latest, within one month. If deemed necessary, taking into account the complexity of the request and the number of the requests, that period may be extended by two further months. In any event, we will inform you as soon as possible, and always within one month after the submission of your request, concerning the progress made and the reason for any possible delay.

 

In case your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular, because of their repetitive character, the Company may either i) charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs for providing the information or making communication or performing the action requested, or ii) refuse to act on the request.

 

In case you consider that we do not comply with the personal data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr, 1-3 Kifissias Ave., Athens, P.C. 115 23 Greece, email: complaints@dpa.gr).

 

9. Hyperlinks


Within our Website you can find hyperlinks which allow you to access third party websites. These links have the sole purpose of facilitating your browsing on the Web and they do not imply, in any way, our endorsement or approval of the content of other websites.

 

Accessing these websites via hyperlinks in our Website is solely your responsibility and we strongly urge you to read each website’s privacy policy and terms of use carefully.

 

10. Minors

The Company offers its services exclusively to individuals over 18 years of age. When a request is submitted to the Company, the user is presumed to be over 18 years of age. In case the user is under 18 years of age, it is presumed that consent is given or authorized by the holder of parental responsibility over the user and that information will be provided, upon request from the Company.

 

Since it is not technically feasible to effectively control the age of the users of the Website, in case a minor submits personal data in violation of our terms, we will delete all relevant information. We will not delete this information if it is deemed necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or fulfill a legal obligation.

 

11. Changes in policy and updates

 

This policy may change at any time and without prior notice. Guided by the principle of transparency, we will inform you on any major changes in our policy. However, you should regularly review our policy, since the use of our Website means that you accept these terms.
