Privacy Policy

Privacy policy


This privacy policy ("Policy") describes how the personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you
may provide on the rodousuitesandvillas.com website ("Website" or "Service") and any of its related products and
services (collectively, "Services") is collected, protected and used. It also describes the choices available to you
regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update this information. This Policy is
a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you" or "your") and AFOI RODOUSAKI KAI SIA EE ("AFOI
RODOUSAKI KAI SIA EE", "we", "us" or "our"). By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge
that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the
practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.


Automatic collection of information


Our top priority is customer data security and, as such, we exercise the no logs policy. We may process only
minimal user data, only as much as it is absolutely necessary to maintain the Website and Services. Information
collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information
regarding the usage and traffic of the Website and Services. This statistical information is not otherwise
aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular user of the system.


Collection of personal information


You can access and use the Website and Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information by
which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the
features on the Website, you may be asked to provide certain Personal Information (for example, your name and email address). We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us when you make a purchase, or fill
any online forms on the Website. When required, this information may include the following:


Personal details such as name, country of residence, etc.


Contact information such as email address, address, etc.


Payment information such as credit card details, bank details, etc.


Information about other individuals such as your family members, friends, etc.


Some of the information we collect is directly from you via the Website and Services. However, we may also collect
Personal Information about you from other sources such as public databases and our joint marketing partners.
You can choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage
of some of the features on the Website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are
welcome to contact us.


Use and processing of collected information

In order to make the Website and Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect
and use certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to
provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used for
the following purposes:


Deliver products or services


Send administrative information


Respond to inquiries and offer support


Enforce terms and conditions and policies


Run and operate the Website and Services


Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are
located in the world and if one of the following applies: (i) you have given your consent for one or more specific
purposes; this, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Information is subject to California
Consumer Privacy Act or European data protection law; (ii) provision of information is necessary for the
performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (iii) processing is
necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to a task that
is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary
for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.


Note that under some legislations we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing
(by opting out), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases below. In any case, we
will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the
provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter
into a contract.


Billing and payments


We use third party payment processors to assist us in processing your payment information securely. Such third
party processors' use of your Personal Information is governed by their respective privacy policies which may or
may not contain privacy protections as protective as this Policy. We suggest that you review their respective
privacy policies.


Disclosure of information


Depending on the requested Services or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have
requested, we may share your information with your consent with our trusted third parties that work with us, any
other affiliates and subsidiaries we rely upon to assist in the operation of the Website and Services available to
you. We do not share Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties. These service providers are not
authorized to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply
with legal requirements. We may share your Personal Information for these purposes only with third parties whose
privacy policies are consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies with respect to Personal
Information. These third parties are given Personal Information they need only in order to perform their designated
functions, and we do not authorize them to use or disclose Personal Information for their own marketing or other
purposes.


We will disclose any Personal Information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to
comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary
to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government
request.


Retention of information


We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations,
resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We
may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it,
but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal Information
shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data
portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.


Transfer of information


Depending on your location, data transfers may involve transferring and storing your information in a country other
than your own. You are entitled to learn about the legal basis of information transfers to a country outside the
European Union or to any international organization governed by public international law or set up by two or more
countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by us to safeguard your information. If any such

the information provided in the contact section.

consent, on a contract which you are part of or on pre-contractual obligations thereof.


The right to object to processing

or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us, you may object to such processing by providing a
ground related to your particular situation to justify the objection.
