  • How we collect your personal data

We collect your personal data directly from you. Specifically, you provide us with your personal data when you express your interest in contacting you, in the context of providing the services we describe on our website. The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is, on the one hand, the legitimate interest of the Company (indicatively in cases of processing of Personal Data in the context of a commercial cooperation proposal) and, on the other hand, the consent of the data subjects.

  • Use – disclosure of personal data

We use your personal data to respond to your requests.

The personal data of data subjects may be transferred and made accessible by legal entities (partners, subcontractors, etc.) with which we conclude contractual agreements from time to time in order to pursue our statutory purpose within the framework of the legitimate interest of our company. In our Company, we select reliable providers and try to impose contractual restrictions on third parties who receive your personal data in order to ensure their lawful use.

In addition, our Company’s website may contain links that lead to other websites of third parties, independent entities, such as, for example, software and content providers, etc. which are operated and maintained exclusively by them, and which we do not control and, therefore, bear no responsibility whatsoever for their content, actions or policies. Please read the respective privacy policies of the websites you visit carefully, as they may differ significantly from ours.

Personal data of data subjects may be disclosed to cloud hosting providers for the purpose of storing and safeguarding the data with appropriate technical and security measures.

During all data transfers, we always take all appropriate measures to ensure that the data transferred is the minimum required for the intended purpose of the processing and that the conditions for lawful and valid processing are always met. The Company’s partners to whom personal data may be transferred have signed the necessary data processing agreements or have provided specific guarantees regarding the transfers of personal data by applying standard contractual clauses in their agreements.

  • Retention period of personal data

The retention period of personal data depends on the lawful basis for processing. In the case where the legitimate basis of the processing is the exercise of legitimate interest, the processing and retention of personal data will be carried out for as long as necessary to achieve the intended purpose of the Company, as well as for as long as necessary until the statute of limitations for any relevant claims has expired.

In the case where the personal data of the subjects are provided with their own consent, we will retain their data until the consent granted by the data subject is withdrawn. In the event that, for any reason, this is interrupted, we will retain them for as long as necessary until the statute of limitations for any relevant claims has expired.

In the case where the legitimate basis of the processing is the performance of the contract, we will retain your data for as long as you maintain a contractual relationship with us in both paper and electronic form or for as long as necessary until the statute of limitations for any relevant claims (civil, tax, etc.) has expired.

In cases where the processing of personal data is carried out based on a legal obligation (Article 6(c) of the GDPR), the retention period is determined based on the requirements of the legislation and the period during which audits can be carried out by the competent authorities.
