2. Personal Data Protection Policy.
The website owner respects and is committed to protecting the personal data and privacy of every visitor/user of the Website. This Personal Data Protection Policy (hereinafter “the Policy”) sets forth the owner’s commitment in this regard and summarizes the data that the owner may collect or process, how such data is used, as well as information regarding the actions that a visitor/user of the Website may or must take regarding the processing of their personal information during their visit to the Website.
This Policy may be revised and/or updated at any time without notice. The owner will post the currently effective version of the Policy to keep visitors/users informed; by continuing to use the Website or its services, visitors/users will be deemed to have accepted the new Policy. For this reason, every visitor/user of the Website is asked to review the Policy at regular intervals.
The management and protection of the personal data of visitors to/ user of the Website is subject to the terms of this section as well as to the relevant provisions of Greek law on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, as supplemented by the decisions of the competent administrative authority, and to European law (in particular, the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and Law 4624/2019 "GDPR Implementation – Hellenic Data Protection Authority, Measures for the Implementation of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, the transposition into national law of Directive (EU) 2016/680, and other provisions,” as amended from time to time.
If a visitor or user does not agree with the terms of the Policy set forth in this section, they must refrain from using the pages or services of the Website.
a. What data we collect.
Visitors/users of the Website may, in principle, browse the entire Website and its individual subpages without revealing their identity or providing any personal information. However, it is possible that, in order for a visitor/user to access or use certain areas or services of the Website, the visitor/user may be required to register to obtain a password and/or to provide and allow the collection and processing of personal data for specific purposes, as set forth in this Policy.
The data we may collect includes:
Basic information (such as first name, last name)
Contact information (such as address, phone number, email address)
Information provided by the visitor/user
Information lawfully collected from publicly available sources
b. How we process data.
The owner may maintain a record of and process the visitor’s/user’s personal data that comes to the owner’s attention through the Website. The collection and processing of personal data by the owner will take place only with the visitor’s/ user, who will provide such data voluntarily for the purpose of gaining access to the aforementioned applications or services available through the Website.
The submission of a visitor’s/user’s data upon registration on the Website shall constitute their consent to the collection, use, and transfer of such data in accordance with the terms of this Policy. The visitor/user, however, will be further asked specifically and explicitly to give their consent to this by accepting this Policy before completing the registration process.
Specifically, the visitor/user acknowledges and agrees that the owner, in accordance with the terms of applicable law as currently in force, will maintain on file and process the visitor’s/user’s personal data collected through the Website, for the purpose of providing the visitor/user with access to the electronic applications offered, serving the visitor/user, and supporting and executing the transactional relationship between the visitor/user and the owner, as well as for statistical purposes and for the purpose of providing information and promoting the owner’s products and services, subject to the visitor’s/user’s specific consent for this purpose.
It is clarified that the personal data processed by the owner is intended solely to ensure the operation of the corresponding service of the Website and may not be used by any third party, without complying with the provisions of applicable law regarding the protection of personal data, as in effect from time to time. The owner acts in accordance with applicable law and strives to best implement best practices regarding the Internet.
Personal data collected by the owner through the Website will be securely stored for as long as the visitor/user is registered for any of the owner’s services or as required for the intended purposes, and will be deleted upon the termination, in any manner, of the visitor’s/ user with the owner, or once the grounds for processing referred to herein no longer apply, taking into account any obligations of the owner under applicable law.
Recipients of this data may include, in addition to the owner, affiliated legal entities or partner companies that act as intermediaries to promote, support, and facilitate the business relationship, and solely for the purpose of providing electronic communications services or any value-added services requested by the user, and always in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. Unless expressly provided for in the Policy or required by law and/or the competent authorities (such as, for example, competent judicial, police, and other administrative authorities upon their lawful request), the owner will not otherwise disclose, notify, transmit, disseminate, or otherwise make available in any form any information provided by any visitor/user without the visitor’s or user’s consent.
The security of the personal data of visitors to and users of the Website is of the utmost importance to us. The owner is committed to ensuring that appropriate technical and organizational measures are taken to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of visitors’/users’ personal data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, in compliance with applicable data protection laws. However, despite the fact that we make every effort to protect the data of visitors/users, the owner cannot guarantee the security of the information provided on the Website, as this is done at the visitor’s/user’s own risk.
c. Rights of the visitor/user.
The visitor/user retains at all times the rights provided for under applicable data protection laws (and primarily Regulation 2016/679) and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, namely:
the right to be informed about the data we process about you
the right to access the data we hold about you
the right to have that data corrected
the right to have that data erased
the right to restrict or object to the processing of their data
the right to data portability to another data controller or processor.
In the event that a visitor/user objects to the processing of their data by the owner or wishes to withdraw their consent (which was previously given), the owner will comply with the relevant instructions in accordance with its legal obligations, provided they are submitted in writing. Please note that an objection or withdrawal of consent will mean that the owner will not be able to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Policy. The withdrawal of consent applies only prospectively and does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal. The data controller may continue to process the data after the withdrawal of consent only to the extent permitted by law in order to comply with its legal obligations and/or to defend its rights.
If any of the above rights are exercised, the owner will take all necessary measures to comply with the relevant request within the time limits provided for by law, notifying the guest/ user in writing regarding the fulfillment of the request or the reasons preventing the exercise of said right or its fulfillment.
To exercise their rights, any visitor or user may contact the owner and submit their request in writing to the following email address (info@olivegreenplomari.com, for the attention of the Data Protection Officer).
In addition, every visitor/user has the right to contact the competent supervisory authority (the Hellenic Data Protection Authority), which reviews written complaints in accordance with the guidelines provided on its website (www.dpa.gr), in the event that they object to the processing of their data by the data controller.
