What are personal data?

In addition, during each visit to our website, further data is automatically collected for technical reasons, such as the IP address assigned by your internet service provider to your computer for connecting to the internet, or information about the website from which you accessed our site, as well as details about the web browser you use (technical information). In individual cases, this technical information may constitute personal data. As a general rule, however, we use such technical data only to the extent necessary for technical purposes, for the operation and protection of our website against attacks and misuse, and in a pseudonymized or anonymized form for statistical purposes.

We collect, process, and use your personal data, in particular when you visit art59-zacharopoulos.gr, register on art59-zacharopoulos.gr, log into an existing customer account, or place orders on art59-zacharopoulos.gr. We use your data only in accordance with applicable legal provisions and this Privacy Policy, as well as with your consent, where applicable. In many cases, data is also used only in a pseudonymized or anonymized form.

When you visit the pages of art59-zacharopoulos.gr, the following data is generally stored for technical reasons in so-called log files:

Pseudonymous Usage Profiles

Within the legal framework, we may, for advertising, market research, and for tailoring our services to better meet our customers’ needs, create and evaluate usage profiles under a pseudonym, but only to the extent that you have not exercised your legal right to object at any time to the use of your data (please see information regarding the right to object in section 7 below, as well as in the following sections). This includes the so-called “Remember Me” function, which you can also deactivate in your customer account under the section “Personal Data.”

Use of Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that allow us to make your visit to our website as convenient as possible. This includes, for example, default settings for the display of our website, shopping cart functions, as well as the ability for single sign-on, so that you only need to register on our website once, even when you want to use the product offers of our partners. Cookies contain a specific combination of letters and numbers that identify the browser you are using. These cookies are stored temporarily on your computer and are transmitted to our server only when you visit our website.
We primarily use session cookies, which are not stored on your hard drive and are deleted when the browser is closed or after longer periods of inactivity. Only for the purchases you choose and for the “Remember Me” function will a persistent cookie be stored, which will expire within 30 days from your last visit to art59-zacharopoulos.gr.

You can view and delete the cookies stored on your computer and control how cookies are handled in general through your web browser settings. You can find more information on this topic from the manufacturer or through the “Help” function of your web browser. Please note that the functionality of art59-zacharopoulos.gr may be limited or unavailable if you do not allow cookies.

More information about the cookies we use can be found here.

Use of Google Analytics

The website uses Google Inc.’s Google Analytics, a web analytics service. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer to help the website analyze how users use it. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Your IP address will be truncated by Google, but only within Member States of the EU or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for website operators, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate the IP address transmitted by your browser with other data it holds.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection and use of data by Google (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

As an alternative to the browser add-on, or when using browsers on mobile devices, you can install an opt-out cookie by clicking the link here, which prevents the future collection of your data within the framework of Google Analytics when visiting this website. This function remains active until the cookie is deleted. If the cookie is deleted, it is sufficient to activate the link again.

We also use Google Remarketing, an advertising service by Google, according to which previous visitors to the website may receive targeted advertisements. It uses cross-device remarketing via Google AdWords and DoubleClick.
If you have agreed that Google may link your web and app browsing history to your Google account, Google uses information from your Google account together with Google Analytics data to personalize advertising and to create target audience lists for cross-device remarketing. As a Google user, you can adjust your advertising settings and disable personalized ads in “My Account.”

Registration, Login and Ordering

When you register and are logged in, or when you place an order, or when you are logged in and attempt to place an order but do not complete it, we collect, process, and use the personal data and information you provide within the framework of the applicable data protection legislation. We may use details of products and services during your order attempt in order to contact you using the information you provided during registration, thereby obtaining your consent.
The information we request from you in order to provide the services you need is marked as mandatory fields in the forms. Other information is optional. For the conclusion and execution of contracts, we request, depending on the case, contact details such as your name, delivery and billing address, as well as information regarding your chosen payment method.
Additionally, we use your data to maintain our customer database so that only relevant data is stored. In order to avoid typing errors and to ensure that the items you ordered have indeed been delivered to you, we verify whether the address you have entered is complete and accurate.

Provision of information about the art59 product range, special promotional offers, and other updates

We use your data to send you information about the product range that you have ordered or attempted to order, as well as other promotional activities from art59-zacharopoulos, to the email address you have provided. You may disable this email function at any time.

Additionally, we may send you information about our own goods and services to the email address you provided during a purchase, even without your prior consent in this regard. You may object to receiving these emails at any time, without any charge other than the standard transmission costs according to your service provider.

We want you to enjoy reading our emails. For this reason, we strive to include only information that is likely to be of interest to you. Accordingly, we measure and store in your usage profile open rates and click rates, that is, whether and when you open our emails, which content you click on within the emails, as well as whether and why our emails may not have been delivered. We may also use this data for statistical purposes.

Μπορεί επίσης να χρησιμοποιήσουμε τα στοιχεία σας για την αποστολή πληροφοριών σχετικά με προωθητικές ενέργειες και ειδικές προσφορές της Media Markt με το ταχυδρομείο. Μπορείτε να εναντιωθείτε σε αυτή τη μορφή αλληλογραφίας, ανά πάσα στιγμή.

Certain informational communications that are necessary for the execution of the contract and the operation of art59-zacharopoulos.gr—for example, regarding services (e.g., registration confirmation, information from customer service) or chargeable transactions (e.g., order confirmation, contract-related documents, payment processing)—cannot be disabled. These communications will be sent to the contact details you have provided.

Miscellaneous

We store and use your data when you contact us by phone, email, or through our contact form, or when you wish to send us information in any other way and therefore provide your data to us for this purpose.

In addition, we store and use personal data and technical information to the extent necessary to prevent or prosecute misuse or other unlawful behavior on our website, for example to maintain data security in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
Finally, we store and use your data to the extent that we are legally obliged to do so, such as in response to an official directive or a judicial or other decision by authorities, as well as to safeguard our rights and claims and for legal defense.

To whom we transfer your personal data

When transferring your personal data, we consistently ensure the highest possible level of security. Therefore, your data is only transferred to service providers and partner companies that have been carefully selected and are contractually bound in advance.
Furthermore, your data is transferred only to entities located within the European Economic Area and therefore subject to strict EU data protection legislation, or to those who have committed to complying with equivalent security standards.

Transfer to Service Providers

In relation to the operations of art59-zacharopoulos.gr and for the execution of contracts, various service providers act on our behalf, for example for central IT services or hosting of art59-zacharopoulos.gr, for payment and delivery of products, or for hardware installation, to whom we transmit the necessary data (e.g., name, address) for the fulfillment of their tasks.

Some of these companies work with us as external data processing partners and therefore use the data provided only in accordance with our instructions. For this reason, we have entered into agreements with these companies regarding the implementation of security measures and the regular monitoring of those measures.

In contrast to external data processing, we transmit data to third parties in relation to the execution of contracts in the following cases:

For the delivery of goods to transport companies and postal service providers, as specified at the time the order is placed.

For the payment of goods, to the payment service providers you designate when placing your order.
In the case of payment by credit card, the transaction is carried out through the payment server provider EDPS Electronic Data Processing S.A. to the bank.
In the case of payment via PayPal, the transaction is processed by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg, Commercial Register No.: R.C.S. Luxembourg B 118 349.
In the case of payment via online bank transfer, the transaction is carried out and processed by the banking institution you choose, namely: Citibank, National Bank of Greece, Alpha Bank, Eurobank, and Piraeus Bank.

During the payment process, we do not record or store payment information related to the transaction, such as credit card numbers or other banking or financial details. You provide this information directly to the respective payment service provider exclusively.

Transfer to Third Parties

Finally, we transmit your data, within the framework of applicable data protection laws, to third parties or public authorities if we are legally obliged to do so due to an official directive or court order, or if we are entitled to do so, for example, because it is necessary for the prosecution of criminal offenses or for the protection and enforcement of our rights and claims.

Data Security

The security of your personal data is a high priority for us. For this reason, we protect the data stored with us through technical and organizational measures to effectively prevent loss or misuse by third parties. In particular, our employees who process personal data are bound to maintain confidentiality.
To protect your personal data, data is transmitted in encrypted form. For example, we use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to secure communication via your web browser. This is recognizable by the padlock symbol displayed in your browser when a TLS connection is established.
To ensure the long-term protection of your data, technical security measures are regularly monitored and, if necessary, adapted to current technological standards.

Your Rights

You have the legal right to be informed about the personal data stored by us, as well as to request its correction or deletion. The fastest, simplest, and most convenient way to exercise these rights is to log into your customer account and directly edit the data stored there or delete your customer account entirely.
Data that we are required to retain due to legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations for the preservation of commercial records will be blocked instead of deleted, in order to prevent their use for other purposes.

Consent, Right to Object

To the extent that we use data for a purpose which, under legal provisions, requires your consent, we will always request your explicit permission and record the consent you provide in accordance with data protection regulations. Consent once given may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future, and/or you may object to the future use of your data for advertising, market research, and opinion purposes.
Please understand that, for technical reasons, the implementation of your objection or withdrawal of consent may require some time, and you may continue to receive notifications from us in the meantime.

For the purposes of withdrawing your consent or submitting an objection, a simple notification to us is sufficient. For this purpose, you may use the following contact details at no cost, except for any charges from your connection provider:

By mail: “Art59,” headquartered at Agiou Christoforou 34, Agrinio.

By email: info@art59-zacharopoulos.gr. To the extent that you receive information from us via email, you can unsubscribe even more easily by clicking the link included in the email.

Social Networking Buttons

We offer so-called social plugins from various social networks (e.g., the “Like” button of Facebook) on our website. The integration of these plugins is carried out via addthis.com by Clearspring Technologies, Inc., 8000 Westpark Drive, Suite 625, McLean, VA 22102, USA.

To protect your privacy, we use a technical solution for integrating social plugins that prevents data (e.g., IP address) from being transmitted to AddThis or to social networks such as Facebook as soon as our website is opened. Only when the social plugins are clicked for the first time are they activated.
As a result, your web browser retrieves the plugins from AddThis servers and displays them as part of our website. In this context, information (e.g., IP address) is transmitted to AddThis in the USA and to social networks such as Facebook. In addition, addthis.com may store cookies or so-called “web beacons” on your computer.

Only when you click on the social plugins a second time will you be able to fully use the “Invite a Friend” button (e.g., “Like”). If you are a member of a social network and click on the relevant social plugin, the provider of the social network may be able to link information about your visit to our website with your profile data on that network.
Therefore, please contact the providers of the social networks you use for information about these functions. You can find detailed information about how addthis.com operates in its privacy policy by visiting www.addthis.com/privacy.

Please inform yourself about the individual settings of your web browser regarding how you can manage cookies and web beacons. You can obtain this information from your browser’s manufacturer. Additionally, third-party providers offer so-called browser extensions and plugins that allow you to configure how your browser handles cookies and personal information.

Links to Websites of Other Companies

The website art59-zacharopoulos.gr may contain links to the websites of other companies. We are not responsible for the data protection practices of external websites that you may access through these links. You are advised to inform yourself about data protection on these external websites.

Changes to this Data Protection Information

We aim to always present our customers with attractive product offers and, therefore, continuously adapt our product range to our customers’ preferences. For this reason, it may be necessary to update and modify this data protection notice from time to time. We therefore recommend that you review this page regularly for any changes. To the extent that such modifications may affect the consent you have provided, we will inform you separately.
