Strictly adhering to security principles, we regularly monitor these measures and, if necessary, adapt them to new best practices.

3. What data we process

The Website processes your data only when you provide it to us actively (e.g., by filling out a contact form).

However, this may not apply to certain data collected with the help of cookies (see “Cookie Policy”) and to certain data collected automatically during your visit.

A. Information collected automatically

Due to the way the internet operates, as soon as you visit the Website, our server records your IP address, as well as some additional information, such as the date and time of your visit, the page from which your visit originated, the type of browser and operating system you are using.

The legal basis for processing this data [collection and storage in special files (log files)] is our legitimate interest, in order to ensure the security of networks, information, and services from accidental events or unlawful or malicious actions that jeopardize the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of stored or transmitted data (e.g., checking for “denial of service” attacks), as well as to effectively address any technical issues.

B. Information you provide to us

We process personal data that you provide when you contact us via a contact form, email, or phone:

4. Who are the recipients of your data

Primarily, access to your data is granted to the authorized personnel and partners of our company, who process your data under strict confidentiality terms, only to the extent and within the framework of the lawful purposes for which we have informed you above.

In order for the Website to function smoothly, some of your data is processed by collaborating companies. These companies (processors) process your data only for the purposes mentioned above and only on behalf of and under the instructions of our Company, with the exception of any legal obligations. When transferring your data to them, we take all necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure the highest possible level of security.

These companies are committed through a contract concluded with our company to provide necessary guarantees for the protection of personal data and to take appropriate measures to ensure that the processing is lawful and that your rights are safeguarded.

These companies provide us with services such as web hosting of the Website.

5. Where and for how long we store your data

Your data is stored in the company’s information system, which is hosted by Hostinger UK Limited, UK private limited company, registered address Nwms Center, 31 Southampton Row, Office 3.11, 3rd Floor, London, England, WC1B 5HJ. In any case, appropriate organizational and technical measures are always applied to prevent any breach.

The data is stored exclusively and only for the period necessary for the respective processing purpose.

For example, if you contact us via the contact form, phone, or email, your data will be retained for a period of three (3) months and then permanently deleted, unless you proceed to enter into a contract with the company.

6. What are your rights regarding your data and how you can exercise them

Under the relevant legal framework, you have a number of rights regarding the processing of your data by the Website.

Specifically, you have the right:

1. To submit a request to the Website to be informed whether we process data and, if so, what data (right of access),
2. To request their correction (right to rectification),
3. To request, under conditions, their deletion (right to erasure),
4. To request, under conditions, the restriction of their processing (right to restriction of processing),
5. To object, under conditions, to their processing by us (right to object), especially regarding processing related to commercial promotion (e.g., sending newsletters),
6. To request the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (right to data portability), provided this is technically feasible.
7. In case of a data breach, which may pose a high risk to your rights and freedoms and provided it does not fall under one of the exceptions provided for in the GDPR, the Website undertakes the obligation to inform you of the breach without undue delay.

Compliance with the legal framework for data processing and, within this framework, the exercise of your rights, is a priority for the Company. For this reason, we have the right to request additional information necessary to confirm your identity before exercising your rights.

In principle, the Website is obliged to respond to your request immediately and at the latest within one month. If necessary, taking into account the complexity of the request and the number of requests, this period may be extended by a further two months. In any case, the company will inform you as soon as possible and, in any case, within one month of submitting your request, about its progress and the reason for any possible delay in its satisfaction.

If your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, especially due to their repetitive nature, the company may either impose a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or performing the requested action, or refuse to comply with your request.

If you believe that we are not complying with the data protection legislation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).
