We also do not collect information about criminal convictions and offenses.
6. Use of personal data
We use personal data only on the basis and within the scope of applicable laws and to the extent necessary for our legitimate interests in running our business, providing administrative and IT services, network security, fraud prevention, defining types of website visitors, keeping the website up to date and relevant, developing our business and marketing strategy, and handling any inquiries and complaints.
We only use personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we believe we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. You can contact us for further information about how our processing of personal data is compatible with the original purpose for which it was collected. If we need to use personal data for another purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis for such use, and where necessary, obtain your consent.
7. Disclosure to third parties and international transfers
Your personal data may be passed on to third parties if:

- the transfer is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not transferring your data,
- In the event that the transfer is required by law,
- In the event that the transfer is legally permissible and necessary to process contractual relationships with you.
We may transfer your personal data to service providers acting as data processors located in the European Union who provide IT and system administration services for the purposes set out above.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law.
We do not permit our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

8. Cookies
For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy.
9. Security of personal data
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed, altered, or disclosed in an unauthorized way. Furthermore, we restrict access to personal data to individuals and persons who need to know. They may only process personal data on our instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
10. Storage of personal data
We will only retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe that legal action may be necessary in relation to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and to satisfy any applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
In certain circumstances, we may anonymize personal data for research or statistical purposes. In this case, we may use this information indefinitely without prior notice.
11. Your rights
In certain circumstances, you have certain rights in relation to your personal data under applicable law.
A) Request access: You have the right to request access to your personal data.
B) Request rectification of personal data: You can request that we correct any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
C) Request to delete personal data: You can request that we delete or remove personal data if there is no valid legal ground for us to continue processing it. We may not always be able to comply with your request for legal reasons that will be communicated to you at the time.
D) Object to the processing of personal data: If, in your particular situation, you wish to object to processing because it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object if we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your data which override your rights and freedoms.
E) Request restriction of processing: You have the right to request that we suspend the processing of your personal data if you want us to verify its accuracy or if its use would be unlawful but you do not want us to delete it. You also have the right to request that we retain the data even if we no longer need it, because you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have compelling legitimate grounds for doing so.
F) Request to transfer personal data: You can request that we provide you or a third party of your choice with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially consented to us using or for which we used the information to perform a contract with you.
G) Withdraw consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time if we rely on it to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the legality of any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with certain services. We will notify you if this is the case at the time of withdrawal.
H) Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority at any time. In Cyprus, this is the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus (further information can be found here: https://www.dataprotection.gov.cy).
We do not normally charge a fee for accessing personal data (or exercising the rights set out above). We may charge a reasonable fee if a request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with a request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who has no right to receive it.
We endeavor to respond to all legitimate requests within one (1) month of receipt. It may take longer than one month if your request is particularly complex or if you have submitted multiple requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
We do not guarantee, warrant, or represent error-free performance under this Privacy Policy. We will use all reasonable efforts to comply with this Privacy Policy and will promptly take corrective action in the event of any breach of this Privacy Policy. We will not be liable for incidental, consequential, or punitive damages related to any violation of this Privacy Policy. If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us.
