Please take into account that, if you decide not to make such data available to us, you may be unable to complete your user registration or may not be able to enjoy those services or functionalities.

    1. For the development, fulfilment and performance of the service provision agreement you have concluded with us on the website.

    This purpose includes processing your data, mainly in order:

    We believe that we have a legitimate interest in conducting the necessary checks to detect and prevent possible fraud when you make a purchase. We understand that processing this data is a positive sign for all parties involved when paying for a purchase, especially for you, as this allows us to take action to protect you from attempts of fraud by third parties.

    2. Customer service

    When your query relates to the exercise of your rights for which we inform you below or claims concerning our products, we may legitimately process your data in order to comply with our legal obligations.

    3. Marketing
    We may legitimately process your data for marketing purposes because of your consent, e.g. when you agree to receive personalised information through a variety of media, when you authorise us to send push notifications to your mobile device, when you accept the legal terms and conditions in order to participate in a promotional action or allow us to publish your photograph on our website or social media.

    4. Usability and quality analysis
    We will process your data during the period in which we will perform an action or a specific quality survey or until we have anonymised your browsing data.

    Regardless of how we process your data for the time that is strictly necessary to achieve the intended purpose, we will then keep them properly stored and protected for the length of time during which processing could arise, in accordance with the legislation in force.

    As soon as the limitation period for each claim expires, we will delete the personal data.

    Additionally, when we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest, you shall also have the right to oppose the processing of your data.
     We inform you of your right to file a complaint with the competent regulatory authority, i.e. the Hellenic Data Protection Authority: http://www.dpa.gr/portal/page?_pageid=33,211532&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
