Dear friends and customers,
As you may be aware, on 25 May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) entered into effect in Greece and all other EU Member States. Following earlier legislation, this new GDPR aims at providing greater protection for the personal information of data subjects, i.e. your personal data.
The GDPR ensures that data subjects, i.e. the natural persons whose data is subject to processing, have certain rights which reinforce their legal position, and specifically their right to informational self-determination.
More particularly, data subjects have the following rights:
- Right to information
- Right to access
- Right to rectification
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
- Right to data portability
- Right to object
As a Data Controller, acting in line with the Regulation’s provisions and wishing to protect and secure our customers’ personal data, MACON SA would like to inform you of the following:
All customer personal data collected by our company, either directly from you upon concluding a contract and/or from publicly accessible sources, is processed solely and exclusively in the context of the company’s commercial activities and is used for the following explicitly stated purposes:
- To create a customer account in which all your orders from our company and all our financial transactions will be recorded.
- To meet all our legal obligations to you with regard to the competent tax authorities, such as the sending of summary statements.
- To send you offers and discounts relating to our company’s products and services and information regarding new products or services.
Your personal data will be used exclusively by authorised company employees solely for the purposes stated above. Your personal data will not be disclosed to other recipients and will be stored for as long as required by the relevant legislation. Our company implements proper organisational and technical measures to protect personal data, their confidentiality and processing, against random or accidental loss or destruction, alteration, unauthorised dissemination or access and any other kind of unlawful processing.
If you have any questions regarding our company’s personal data protection policy or if you do not wish to continue receiving information from us about our news, offers and discounts, please contact us by post at Apollonos Lygarias – Pylaia Thessaloniki 55535, or by e-mail at info@macon.gr
