How and why we process your personal data The processing of personal data is mainly carried out through computer systems and electronic devices. The specific purposes for which your personal data are processed are summarized in a statement that appears each time you provide your personal data, in accordance with Article 13 of Legislative Decree 196/2003. In general, the data are processed in order to provide the following services to those who visit our website:
  1. registration and use of services such as order tracking, our newsletter, as well as the possibility for our users to share their experiences with their friends who are registered on our website through their social network accounts
  2. placing orders and other related actions
  3. payment management, including anti-fraud controls for credit/debit card payments. (In this case, the data provided during the order process will be sent to the anti-fraud controller)
  4. managing your requests: requests of a technical nature, commercial nature, regarding the progress of your orders and requests for information of any kind.
  5. communication with our service managers
  6. sending, with your consent and for marketing purposes, commercial communication in various ways, both by electronic and information systems (e-mail, sms) and by traditional means (by post, telephone). We remind you that, as provided for by art. 130, comma 4, of Legislative Decree 196/2003, the data controller may use the data to send promotional e-mails for products and services similar to those already purchased, unless you object to the use of your data for this purpose.
  7. sending, with your consent, for profiling purposes in order to improve your browsing experience on the website and sending you promotional material that matches your interests. Please read the relevant Cookies Policy section below.
When processing personal data that may, directly or indirectly, identify you, we try to respect the principle of strict necessity. For this reason, we have designed our website to limit the use of your personal data to the absolute minimum: consequently, your personal data are not processed when the purpose of a specific action can be achieved by using anonymous data (such as market surveys aimed at improving services) or through other methods that make it possible to identify the person involved only if absolutely necessary or at the request of the authorities or the public authorities. Where the purpose of the processing of your data is different from the specific purpose for which you provided your personal data, it will be indicated in the declaration and the processing will only be carried out if you have expressly given your consent. There are, however, cases of data processing in which, according to the law, your consent is not required: for example, we would like to inform you that the controller may process your personal data without your consent if this is necessary to comply with the provisions of the law or whenever it is necessary to fulfil the obligations he/she has undertaken towards you. We also inform you that Art. 4, of Legislative Decree 196/2003 of the Code for the Protection of Personal Data provides that, without your express consent being necessary, it may use your data for direct sales of products similar to those you have already purchased and for market research, provided that you do not object to the use of the e-mail you have provided for this purpose. Finally, we would like to inform you that your personal data will not be transferred abroad to countries outside the European Union which do not provide an adequate level of privacy protection. If such transfer becomes necessary for the provision of our services or the conclusion of a contract for the purchase of our products, we would like to assure you that your personal data will not be transferred to countries outside the European Union which do not provide an adequate level of privacy protection unless specific contracts have been signed with such parties, which are in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The eshop manager may process personal data of third parties, which are directly disclosed by users, such as in the case where a user has purchased a product that will be delivered to a friend or in the case where the person who pays for the product is different from the recipient or when a user wishes to inform a friend about a service or an offer of sale of a specific product in eshop-art.gr. In these cases, the person in charge will ensure that the third party is provided with the relevant declaration, as provided for in article 13 of Legislative Decree 196/2003, when entering his/her personal data in the in-store.com files. It is, however, your responsibility to obtain the consent of the person in question before disclosing his/her personal data and to inform him/her of this Privacy Policy, since you will be the only person responsible for the disclosure of information and data of third parties without their consent or in the event that the data in question are used in an illegal or irregular manner. Security measures We apply adequate security measures to reduce the risk of data destruction or loss – even accidentally – to a minimum, to prevent unauthorised access, unlawful processing and processing that is incompatible with the purposes of data collection as set out in our Privacy Policy. However, the controller cannot guarantee to its users that the security measures implemented to protect the site, the transmission of data and information on the site limit or exclude any risk of unauthorised access or data dissemination through users’ devices: we advise you to make sure that your computer is equipped with the appropriate software to protect the transmission of data on the network, both incoming and outgoing (such as with upgraded protection systems Every purchase is made in complete security thanks to the use of the most technologically advanced encryption systems (SSL).
