We may process your Personal Data in order to provide personalized services under the law (Article 6 (1b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the relevant Greek Law. Your Personal data is not used for purposes other than those described in the Privacy Policy unless we obtain your prior permission or unless this is required or permitted by law. Personal Data should be processed in a way that is compatible with the purpose for which it was collected.

The principle of proportionality applies to the processing of Personal Data. Among other things, it creates the obligation not to collect Personal Data unnecessarily.

Personal Data used should be accurate and up-to-date. Personal Data used and which is no longer accurate and complete should be corrected or deleted. Except where there is an obligation under law to maintain it for a longer period of time, Personal Data should not be kept for a longer period of time than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed.

The processing of Personal Data should be in accordance with the principles of good faith. This means that data subjects can rely on the processors to show proper care in all data processing issues.

Individuals whose Personal Data has been processed should be updated accordingly if they so request. In particular, they have the right to be informed of the purposes for which their data is processed, the type of data it concerns, and the identity of the recipients of the data. Where necessary, data subjects are also entitled to request the correction, non-transmission or deletion of their data. The above rights may be limited only if such limitation is provided for by law. This applies, in particular, to scientific research.

In particular, Personal Data is protected against unauthorized disclosure and any unauthorized processing. The measures put in place should ensure a level of security commensurate with the nature of the data to be protected and the risks that may arise from its processing. The Company is responsible for implementing and complying with EU Regulation 2016/679 and the applicable National Law.

Employees of the Company dealing with the processing of Personal Data should be suitably informed. Procedures for the processing of Personal Data of third parties by agreement should be set out in writing.
