Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. Cookies are small data files placed on your device. They help us improve your experience and understand site usage. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. But here is the thing: if you don’t accept cookies, some parts of our website might not function correctly.

How We Collect Your Data
We collect data in a few ways:

Direct Interactions: You provide data directly when you fill out a contact form or send us an email.
Automated Technologies or Interactions: As you interact with https://annakarakerezi.gr/, we automatically collect Usage Data and data via cookies. This happens through server logs and other similar technologies.
Third Parties: We might receive data about you from third parties, such as analytics providers (like Google Analytics), based outside the EU, but only if appropriate safeguards are in place.

How We Use Your Data (Purposes and Legal Bases)
We use your personal data for specific purposes, and we always have a legal basis for doing so under GDPR. Here’s how we use your information:

To Operate and Maintain Our Website: We use your data to ensure https://annakarakerezi.gr/ functions correctly and securely. This is necessary for our legitimate interests (running our website).


To Improve Our Website: We analyze Usage Data to understand how visitors use https://annakarakerezi.gr/. This helps us make the site better, more user-friendly, and more relevant. This processing is based on our legitimate interests (improving our services).


To Respond to Your Inquiries: If you contact us via a form or email, we use your contact and communication data to reply to your questions or requests. This is done either with your consent (when you submit the form) or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.


For Analytics: We use tools like Google Analytics to gather statistics about website traffic and usage patterns. This helps us understand our audience and site performance. This is based on our legitimate interests (understanding and improving our website).


To Comply with Legal Obligations: In certain situations, we may need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to a court order.

Who We Share Your Data With
We don’t sell your personal data. We only share it with trusted third parties when necessary for the purposes outlined above. These third parties are typically:

Service Providers: We use third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our website, provide services on our behalf (e.g., website hosting, analytics), or assist us in analyzing how our website is used. These parties only have access to your personal data to perform these tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
For example, our website host needs access to server logs to ensure the site is running. Google Analytics processes anonymized usage data to provide us with reports.


Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose your personal data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This means your personal data might be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the EEA. When this happens, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, as required by GDPR. This might include using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or ensuring the recipient is certified under an approved framework (if applicable).

Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. For example, https://annakarakerezi.gr/ uses SSL encryption to secure data transmitted between your browser and our server. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
For example, if you send us an email, we’ll keep that communication for a reasonable period to address your query and for our records, typically no longer than 12 months unless a longer period is legally required.

Your Legal Rights (GDPR Rights)
Under GDPR, you have specific rights regarding your personal data. We respect these rights. Here’s what they are:

The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.


The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.


The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.


The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.


The Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.


The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.


The Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This won’t affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the European Union (or EEA) member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe your rights have been violated.

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
