Legal framework about personal data

The legal framework on the protection of personal data within the European Union was amended on 25 March 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 entered into force, thus repealing the relevant national legislation of EU member states. Following the provisions, and by taking all the necessary organisational and technical measures required by the new Regulation, the Company complied with the new legislative framework in order to best protect the interests and personal data of the data subjects.

Personal data collected

Depending on the purpose and needs of each case (see details below), the Company collects the following personal data of the Client: full name, email, landline or mobile number and IP address (Internet Protocol address).

The purpose of processing personal data

The above data are collected and processed in the framework of the provision of services by the Company to provide you with information, products or services that you request from us. Also for customer management purposes to manage your account, to provide you with customer support and with notices about your account, and notices about changes to any products or services we offer or provide through it. For advertising purposes: after your consent to communicate with you about products or services that may be of interest to you. For functionality and security: to detect, prevent, and respond to actual or potential fraud, illegal activities, or intellectual property infringement. For compliance: to enforce our terms and conditions and to comply with our legal obligations as these derive from the applicable laws or our regulators.

The legal basis for collecting and processing data

The Client’s consent provides the legal basis for processing their personal data.

Why we need personal data

We need your personal data solely and exclusively for the purposes stated in detail above. Should there be a new purpose of processing, which is incompatible with the corresponding original purpose, you will be notified anew and your consent will once again be requested, if required. Your personal data shall under no circumstances be used for any purposes other than the above. Furthermore, your personal data shall not be processed for purposes of commercial exploitation.

The impact of processing on the data subjects

The processing of personal data by the Company does not have any impact whatsoever on the data subjects, since the collected data are entirely necessary and required for the provision of services and/or products. Furthermore, the data we process come under the category of simple personal data and do not, as a rule, come under special data categories (sensitive personal data). All personal data are considered and treated as private and confidential. We ensure that all the necessary organisational and technical measures are taken to protect these data and their confidentiality.

How we use personal data

We collect, enter, store and organise your personal data solely for the intended purpose, as the case may be. Your personal data shall be kept private and confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties without your prior, express, specific and written consent.
