Security Measures

We will hold your Personal Information securely in line with physical, technical and administrative security measures. However, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Retention Period

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights

Subject to the provisions of the GDPR, you have certain rights in relation to your Personal Information which include the following:

The right to be informed. As a data subject, you have the right to be informed regarding your personal data and specifically regarding the purposes of processing, the legal basis for processing, the identity of the controller. The contact details of the controller, the contact details of the DPO (if applicable), the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data and information if the personal data will be transferred outside the EEA.
The right to request access. This right allows you to request access to your Personal Information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
The right to rectification. This right allows you to request a rectification of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
The right to erasure. This right allows you to request the erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your Personal Information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
The right to restriction of processing. This right allows you to request the restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your Personal Information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
The right of data portability. This right allows you to transfer your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
The right to object. This right allows you to object to the processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your Personal Information which override your rights and freedoms.
The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing. This right allows you not to be subject to a fully automatic decision (i.e. without any human intervention in the decision-making process), that has legal effects or significantly affects you. Please note that for this right to apply the decision needs to be based exclusively on automated processing, without human intervention. This means that no natural person has any significant control over the decision and cannot, for example, change or reverse the decision and the decision has legal effects for you personally or significantly affects you.
The right to withdraw consent. This right allows you to withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on it, in order to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Right to complain

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to Cyprus Data Protection Commissioner (www.dataprotection.gov.cy).
