Personal Data Policy

We provide this Policy for the Protection of Personal Data to help you understand what we do with the personal data that we receive/obtain from you. By providing your personal data, you declare that you accept the Policy for the Protection of Personal Data and for the use of Cookies and you agree that we collect, use, and disclose your personal data as described herein. If you do not agree with this Information Statement, please do not give us your personal details.

Personal Data

In order to use our services, it is necessary the collection of certain personal data or identification information of users. Also, certain data may be stored which provide information concerning the manner and the time that you visited this website (e.g., the website from which possibly you were connected with this website, the date of your visit, etc.). This data is stored with the purpose to improve the quality and the content of this website.

Your data may be used for the identification of a user in a unique way among others, with the purpose of the display of targeted advertisements, messages, or content.

What kind of personal data do we process and for what reason?

The purpose of the processing of your personal data is the advertising and the direct commercial promotion of our services. For the serving of the above purpose, however, we will collect and process only those data which are necessary, relevant, and appropriate for the purpose of the processing. The processing of personal data for purposes of direct commercial promotion is carried out for the serving of our legitimate interest.

In general, you can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our servers collect the originating IP addresses, for reasons of information technology (IT), facilitating you to connect to our platform and providing you our services, not the email addresses, of visitors. In addition, there are sections of this website where we must collect personal data from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you specific information that you request and where you are asked to register to our website. We do this through the use of electronic forms and each time you send us via email your details. You will find that it is not obligatory to provide us supplementary information that we request, which is not necessary or reasonable to provide you the services you requested. Further, in case of collection of Personal Data concerning you through the completion of the Contact Form, it will be requested as the case may be your free, explicit, specific, clear, and fully informed consent. In case you wish, you can receive the details of your own consent declaration (date, time, etc.). You have the possibility to revoke your consent at any time, without retroactive effect. If you wish to revoke your consent, you can send an email to the address: alvo@alvo.gr

During your navigation in the website you may be requested the submission of your personal information in order to benefit from certain of our services/provisions (e.g., subscriptions to newsletters, advice/suggestions).

During your navigation in our website, certain information may be collected without you providing them actively, and this happens with the use of various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies, Internet tags, as well as browsing data collection.

ALVO, as controller, with or without the help of automated methods, will have at its disposal a file and will process your personal data. Your data will be stored in a form that allows your identification as subjects of these only for the period required and exclusively for the purpose of the processing. Visitors/users of the Website who are minors do not have the right to register as members and therefore are not obliged to submit their personal data. Access to the data have only the lawful recipients of these (e.g. authorized employees), whenever this is deemed necessary. It is possible that your data be transferred to further recipients, who will act in the name and on behalf of us in the framework of execution of a contract, for the achievement of the above lawful purpose (e.g., advertising companies – external partners). For the details of recipients you can submit a request at the email address: alvo@alvo.gr

Beyond the above, your data will not be transferred to third recipients or to third countries for commercial or non-commercial purposes, without your prior information and explicit consent.

Your data will be retained for two years from their storage, unless their retention is imposed by European or national legislation.

You retain the following rights in detail:

Right of information regarding your personal data: After a relevant request, we will provide you information concerning the personal data we keep about you.

Right of correction and completion of your personal data: Provided that you notify us, we will correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you. We will complete incomplete data if you notify us, under the condition that this data is necessary for the purposes of processing your data.

Right of deletion of your personal data: After a relevant request, we will delete the personal data we keep about you. However, certain data will be deleted only after a defined retention period, for example because in some cases we are legally obliged to retain the data, or because the data is required for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations towards you.

Right of restriction of your personal data: In certain cases provided by law, we will restrict your data, if you request it. Further processing of restricted data is done only to a very limited extent.

Right to withdraw your consent: You can at any time withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data in the future. The legality of the processing of your data remains unaffected by this action, up to the point of withdrawal of your consent.

Right to object against the processing of your data: You can at any time object against the processing of your personal data in the future, if we process your data on the basis of one of the legal justifications provided in article 6 (1e or 1f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. If you object, we will stop the processing of your data, provided that there are no legal reasons for further processing.

You can at any time oppose the processing of your data for purposes of direct commercial promotion, including profiling, if this is related to direct commercial promotion. In case of exercise of the above right your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the right to object and request the restriction of certain acts of processing of your data.

You have the right to submit a complaint to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority in case you judge that your data are subject to unlawful processing.
