Sometimes, we will need to share your Data with a third party that provides a service (such as courier delivery or a technician visiting your home). Without you sharing your personal data, we would not be able to fulfill your request.

According to the above, the User accepts and agrees that in order to enter into a sales contract with the Seller through the Store, he is required to create a user profile, i.e. a “customer card” where he is asked to enter all necessary information for the purposes of concluding and executing contracts of sale with the Seller.

The User undertakes the obligation to declare to the Seller a true e-mail and product shipping address, while acknowledging that any false statement renders the execution of any of the sales contracts impossible, subject to the Seller’s right to claim compensation from the User for any positive damage suffered by his guilty behavior.

The User is solely responsible for keeping the login code in the user profile he will create. The process is automated and the User acknowledges that the Seller cannot intervene in the identification process for entering the Store, nor can she know the password – user code she has chosen.

The Seller is in possession of the personal data entered by the User in the customer record (name, surname, home address – shipping of Products – email address – telephone numbers, and therefore becomes the Data Controller within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ( General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR).

Each use, the processing of these data and all data concerning the Buyers and their electronic trace in the Store, which the Seller undertakes, is done exclusively in accordance with what is stipulated by the GDPR.

Also, the same users are provided in a clear and distinct way with the possibility to object at any time to each User (opt-out / unsubscribe), in an easy way and without any charge through their tab / account screen (their profile), but also in from each relevant message, in case the User had not initially objected to this use from the settings of his profile – account.

The Seller will continuously inform the User about the exercise of his rights as a Data Subject.

The above rights and their exercise are subject to restrictions to the extent that they conflict either in principle or due to the manner in which they are exercised by the User with the current legislation and other applicable provisions (e.g. retention of User transaction data for tax purposes – financial transparency of the Seller, retention for proof of consent, etc.).

The User – Data Subject has the right to submit questions and complaints regarding the processing of his personal data by the Seller, to the supervisory national Authority, i.e. the Personal Data Protection Authority, Offices: Kifisias 1-3, P.O. 115 23, Athens, Call Center: +30-210 6475600, Fax: +30-210 6475628, Email: contact@dpa.gr

Social Network Button:

We offer you so-called social plugins of various social networks (e.g. the Facebook “Like” button) on our website. The integration of these plugins is implemented via addthis.com by the company Clearsprings Technologies, Inc, 8000 WestparkDrive, Suite 625, McLean, VA 22102, USA.

To protect your privacy, we use a technical solution for the integration of social plugins that prevents data (e.g. IP address) from being transmitted to addthis or social networks such as Facebook as soon as our website is opened. Only when social plugins are clicked for the first time are they activated. This results in your web browser retrieving the plugins from the addthis servers and displaying them as part of our website. In this combination, information (e.g. IP address) is transmitted to addthis in the USA and to social networks such as Facebook. In addition, addthis.com may store cookies or so-called “webbeacons” on your computer. Only when you click on the social plugins a second time will you be able to make full use of the “Invite a friend” button (eg “Like”). If you are a member of a social network and click on the relevant social plugin, the provider of the social network may be able to link the information about the visit to our website with your profile data on the network. Therefore, please contact the operators of the social networks used by you for information about these functions. Detailed information about the operation of addthis.com can be found in the privacy policy of addthis.com by clicking www.addthis.com/privacy.
