A. GENERAL

These notaries, as Data Controllers, prioritize the security of your personal data through our compliance with the National and European Legislation and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). Through our privacy policy, we inform you on the one hand, about our practices regarding the processing of your personal data and on the other hand, about your rights as a data subject. In this way, you will be able to provide us with your explicit consent to the collection and processing of your personal data, which you can withdraw or modify at any time.

PERSONAL DATA WE PROCESS

According to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), personal data is data that can be used to identify an individual. When filling out the contact form on our website, you will be asked for your full name, email address and phone number.

DATA COLLECTION METHODS

The samos-notary.gr website was designed so that its users can visit it without having to reveal their identity unless they wish to do so. Users of our website are asked to provide us with their personal data necessary to communicate with them upon their request and only when they wish to send emails through the website. The provision of any personal data is done by you voluntarily.

PROCESSING PURPOSES

The website samos-notary.gr collects, maintains and processes your personal data only when you yourself voluntarily provide them to us exclusively for our communication and our response to any questions you may have.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

We process your personal data only when you voluntarily provide it to us and only when we obtain your free, explicit and informed consent. Your consent to the processing of your personal data may be withdrawn at any time.

SAFETY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

In the context of personal data protection, data controllers regularly check the necessity of keeping your personal data and delete any of them that they consider not useful and not strictly necessary for the purposes of processing. They are also committed to ensuring the security and integrity of the data collected about the users of the website and for this reason the necessary measures are taken to protect the personal data that you, the users, provide in any way. These measures protect users' data from any unauthorized access or disclosure, loss or misuse, and alteration or destruction. The samos-notary.gr website uses the SSL protocol, with 128-bit encryption. In this way all your personal information is encrypted so that it cannot be read or modified during transmission over the Internet. The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol is currently the global standard on the Internet for the certification of web sites to network users and for the encryption of data between network users and web servers. An encrypted SSL communication requires all information sent between a client and a server to be encrypted by the sending software and decrypted by the receiving software, thus protecting personal information in transit. In addition, all information sent using the SSL protocol is protected by a mechanism that automatically verifies whether the data has been modified in transit. In addition, we restrict access to your personal data to only those employees who need to know it in order to perform their professional duties. They will process your personal data solely in accordance with our instructions and are committed to respecting relevant confidentiality conditions.

DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD PARTIES

The data controllers undertake not to publish or disclose in any way the personal data of the users of the samos-notary.gr website to any third party. We may transfer users' personal data to third parties only if required to do so due to compliance with the relevant provisions of the law and to the authorities only.

RETENTION PERIOD OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law). Generally this means that we will retain your Personal Data until our email communication is complete. We delete your personal data after the consent given has been withdrawn.
