Mode and place of processing the Data
Methods of processing
Data is processed in a proper manner and appropriate security measures are undertaken to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorized destruction of the Data.
Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organizational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated.
In addition to us, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of the site (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Processors or by potential purchasers or assignees of us.
We may share some of the Data with subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under a common control (i.e. affiliates). If another company acquires our company, business, or our assets, that company will possess the Data collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding the Data as described in this Privacy Policy.
Place
The Data is processed at our operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved with the processing are located. For further information, please contact us.
Transfers of data to countries outside the EEA may take place as part of the services described in this Privacy Policy. Any such transfers will be undertaken in compliance with the general principles on transfers, as these are set out in the GDPR and the Greek Law providing for the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data and for the Free Movement of such Data of 2016 (Law 2016/679).
Retention time
The Data is kept for the time necessary to provide the service requested by the User, or stated by the purposes outlined in this document, and the User can always request that we correct, suspend or remove the data.
Security of personal data
We protect your personal data by taking all necessary organizational and technical measures to avoid any form of illegal or unlawful processing. In particular:
- Ensuring the Confidentiality of the Transfer of Your Personal Data
To ensure the confidentiality of data transfer, the SSL encryption protocol with RSA key 2048 bits (e 65537) is used. In addition, all backup systems we use have additional encryption (AES-256) before being transmitted to an approved cloud provider via SSL connection as an additional data safeguard measure. The backup providers we use today to store the data are:
infrastructure of the company Top Host - Controlled Access
The back-end infrastructure is hosted and installed in Data Centers that have ISO 27001 security standards and meet the GDPR requirements for data protection. Access to the Company’s systems (servers) is controlled by a firewall, which allows the use of specific services by users while prohibiting access to systems and databases with confidential data and information of the Company. The web hosting provider we use today is: Top Host - Encryption
With the use of special software, the Company’s electronic system first decrypts the information it receives before processing it. The Company’s systems send information following the same encryption process. Wherever on the website you enter personal data (password, email, etc.) there is SSL encryption with an RSA key of 2048 bits (e 65537).
The encryption protocol ensures that all the data you provide to us, including your name and address and password to your account, are encrypted so that they cannot be decrypted or changed when transferred online.
Legal bases for the use of the collected Data
The Data concerning you as a User is collected to allow us to provide its services via the Application as well as, wherever required, with your consent, for any of the following purposes: traffic optimization and distribution and hosting and backend as a service.
We may also process your Personal Data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, for example if we are required by law to disclose certain Data to public authorities.
Finally, it may be necessary for us to process your Personal Data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us and where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of Users. For example, your Personal Data may be used for legal purposes in Court proceedings or in the stages leading to possible legal action arising from improper use of the Application or the related services.
Detailed information on the purposes of the processing of Personal Data
Personal Data is collected for the following purposes and using the following services:
Analytics
The services contained in this section enable us to monitor and analyze web traffic and can be used to keep track of User behavior.
FireBase
We use Firebase (https://www.firebase.com/), a framework maintained by the Google subsidiary Firebase, through which we track and administer the following real-time functions:
Tracking of user behavior through Google Analytics (cp. para 2) for Firebase; Tracking of app crashes and their reasons through Firebase Crashlytics (cp. para 3); Push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging (cp. in para 4); Some Firebase services process personal data. In most cases, the personal data is limited to so-called “instance IDs”, which are provided with a time stamp. These “Instance IDs” assigned by Firebase are unique and thus allow the linking of different events or processes. This data does not represent personally identifiable information for us, nor do we make any efforts to personalize it subsequently. We process the aggregated data to analyze and optimize usage behavior, for example by evaluating crash reports. For all mentioned Firebase services, only anonymized or pseudonymized user data is transmitted to Firebase (Google). Firebase’s privacy policy is available under https://www.firebase.com/terms/privacy-policy.html
Google Analytics (Google Inc)
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google utilizes the Data collected to track and examine the use of this Website, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the Data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Personal Data collected: Cookie and Usage data.

These services have the purpose of hosting data and files that enable us to run and be distributed as well as to provide a ready-made infrastructure to run specific features or parts of this Website.
