1. Directly
- through contact forms. These personal data include your first name, last name, email address, country of residence, nationality and whichever relevant piece of information you select to share with us upon acceptance of the here presented privacy policy.
This information is sent securely over the web to our premises and then inserted into our back-office system.
Similar information (at least name(s) and email address(es)) is collected through the email messages you send us.
These data never get out of our office, i.e. they are never shared with any third-party individual or company, apart from whatever information is required for making your reservations, namely your last name, gender and on certain occasions, your nationality.
The collected data is handled and stored according to the "EU General Data Protection Regulation" (https://www.eugdpr.org/): among other practices, only authorized staff from our office has secure access to sensitive data and only to the data absolutely necessary for the completion of their duties.
These directly collected private data that you provide us with are retained indefinitely in our back-office system. At any time, you may ask us to present you with the personal data that we possess and/or ask us to erase them; this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.We use your personal data:- to enable the communication between you and the agent from our office that handles your file.
- in order to maintain a database of our prospects, our clients and the services they may receive.
- once per year we send out a card with wishes for Christmas & the New Year
- two or three times per year we may send you a newsletter and/or offers for trips to Greece.
- through the access logs of our webserver. This is a standard procedure for all webservers. The raw data collected include the date, time, browser and IP of the visit combined with each URL visited. These data are rarely processed and the logs may be saved for historical reasons; in order to get statistics about the use of our website we use instead the services described here below.
