Privacy Policy

We are very happy about your interest in our business. Data protection is one of the highest priorities of Playia Villas Management. The use of Playia Villas websites is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services of the company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for it, we request the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of the data subject must always be in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as with the more specific national data protection regulations applicable to Playia Villas. Through this data protection statement, our company would like to inform the general public about the nature, extent and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, through this data protection declaration, data subjects are informed about their rights.

As the controller, Playia Villas has taken numerous technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the most comprehensive protection of personal data processed through the website. However, when transmitting data over the Internet it is in principle possible for security gaps to occur, so it may not be possible to guarantee absolute protection. For this reason, each data subject is free to transmit personal data to us using alternative means, e.g. via phone.

1. Definitions

On this website, the controller has integrated elements of the Facebook business. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social gathering space, an online community, that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a digital environment. A social network can act as a platform to share opinions and experiences or allow the online community to provide professional or business information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create personal profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests.

The company that manages Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person resides outside the United States or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By accessing individual pages of this website operated by the controller and in which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is integrated, the internet browser in the information system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the view of its component Facebook via the Facebook plugin. A summary of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical process, Facebook recognizes which subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

Αν το υποκείμενο των δεδομένων είναι την ίδια στιγμή συνδεδεμένο στο Facebook, το Facebook ανιχνεύει κάθε φορά που το υποκείμενο των δεδομένων εισέρχεται στην ιστοσελίδα μας – και καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της παραμονής του σε αυτή -ποια συγκεκριμένη υποσελίδα της ιστοσελίδας μας επισκέφθηκε το υποκείμενο των δεδομένων. Αυτή η πληροφορία συλλέγεται μέσω του στοιχείου του Facebook και συσχετίζεται με τον αντίστοιχο λογαριασμό Facebook του υποκειμένου των δεδομένων. Αν το υποκείμενο των δεδομένων πατήσει πάνω σε ένα από τα στοιχεία Facebook που έχουν ενσωματωθεί στην ιστοσελίδα μας, π.χ. το κουμπί “Like”, ή αν υποβάλει ένα σχόλιο, τότε το Facebook αντιστοιχίζει αυτήν την πληροφορία με τον προσωπικό λογαριασμό χρήστη Facebook του υποκειμένου των δεδομένων και αποθηκεύει τα δεδομένα προσωπικού χαρακτήρα.

Facebook always receives, via the Facebook component, information about a visit of the data subject to our website whenever the data subject is logged into Facebook during his visit to our website. This happens regardless of whether the data subject chooses the Facebook element or not. If the data subject does not wish this transmission of information to Facebook, then he or she can prevent it by logging out of his or her Facebook account before visiting our website.

Facebook's data protection guidelines, available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, they explain which options Facebook provides to protect the privacy of the data subject. Configuration options are also available that allow data transmission to Facebook to be terminated. These applications can be used by the data subject in order to terminate the transmission of data to Facebook.

9. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the Google Analytics element (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is an online analytics service. Online analysis means the collection, aggregation and analysis of data concerning the behavior of website visitors. The web analysis service collects, among other things, data showing through which website a certain person reached another website (the so-called referrer page), which sub-page of the website was visited or how often and for what duration the sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website for cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.

The company that manages the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For online analysis via Google Analytics, the controller uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. Through this application, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is declared in an abbreviation by Google and anonymized when visiting our website from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting Party to the Treaty on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information it collects, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to create online reports showing our website activities, as well as to provide us with other services related to the use of the website. us.

Google Analytics places cookies in the information system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is given above. With the application of cookies, Google acquires the possibility to analyze the use of our website. With each access to individual pages of this website managed by the controller and in which a Google Analytics component is integrated, the internet browser to the information system of the data subject automatically transmits data via the Google AdSense component for the purpose of online advertising and commission calculation for Google. During this technical process, the company Google collects personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, helping Google, among other things, to identify the origin of visitors and "clicks" and to calculate the commission.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which the access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to the website, personal data including the IP address of the website used by the data subject is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected through this technical process to third parties.

The data subject can, as mentioned above, prevent the application of cookies through our website, at any time, by making the corresponding adjustment of the internet browser he uses and, in this way, definitively refuse the application of cookies. This browser adjustment will prevent Google Analytics from sending cookies to the information system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already used by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via a browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of the website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google and the possibility to prohibit it. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on via the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The additional add-on indicates to Google Analytics via a JavaScript that all data and information about visits to the web pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installing this add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's information system is later deleted, modified or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser plug-in to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser plug-in has been uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their competence, it may be reinstalled or reactivated.

For further information and the data protection provisions applied by Google at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Further explanation of Google Analytics at the following link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

10. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Instagram

On this website, the controller has integrated elements of Instagram. Instagram can be characterized as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share photos and videos, but also to share such data on other social networks.

The company that manages the services provided by Instagram is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.

By accessing individual pages of this website operated by the controller and in which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is integrated, the internet browser in the information system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the view of its component Facebook via the Facebook plugin. A summary of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical process, Facebook recognizes which subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is at the same time logged in to Instagram, Instagram recognizes with each entry to our website by the data subject – and throughout his stay on our website – which specific sub-page of our website was visited . This information is collected via the Instagram component and associated with the relevant information from the Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons embedded on our website, then Instagram matches this information with the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stores personal data.

Instagram receives information via the Instagram component about the data subject's visit to our website provided that the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the time of entering our website. This occurs regardless of whether he clicks on the Instagram icon or not. If the data subject does not wish information to be transmitted to Instagram, he or she can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before entering our website.

Further information and the data protection provisions applied by Instagram at the link https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

11. Legal basis for processing

Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a' of the General Data Protection Regulation constitutes the legal basis for the processing procedure for which we obtain consent for a certain purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the execution of an agreement to which the data subject is a party, such as e.g. in the event that the processing is necessary for the supply of goods or for the provision of a service, the processing is based on article 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the General Data Protection Regulation. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for taking pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company has a certain obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on article 6 paragraph 1 letter c of the General Data Protection Regulation. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This happens, for example, when a visitor is injured at our company and their name, age, insurance details or other vital information is disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing is based on article 6 paragraph 1 letter d of the General Data Processing Regulation. Finally, processing procedures may be based on article 6 paragraph 1 case f of the General Data Protection Regulation. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned cases, as long as the processing is necessary to serve the legal interests of our company or a third party, unless these interests are overridden by interest or fundamental rights and the freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data. Such processing actions are permitted as they are expressly stated by the European legislator. Such a legitimate interest is deemed to exist when the data subject is a customer of the controller (Article 47, sentence 2 of the Preamble of the General Data Protection Regulation).

12. The legal interests pursued by the data controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation, our legitimate interest is the pursuit of our activity for the welfare of all our employees and shareholders.

13. Period of retention of personal data

The criteria used to determine the retention period of personal data is the legal storage period. After the expiry of this period, the corresponding data are deleted, to the extent that they are no longer necessary for the execution or conclusion of the contract.

14. Provision of personal data as a legal or contractual requirement – Necessary condition for the conclusion of a contract – Obligation of the data subject to provide personal data – Possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We make it clear that the provision of personal data is partly required by Law (e.g. by tax provisions) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. provision of information to the counterparty). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract for the data subject to provide us with personal data, which we will then process. The data subject is obliged, for example, to provide us with personal data when entering into contracts with our company. Failure to provide this personal data may result in the impossibility of entering into a contract with the data subject. Before the provision of personal data by the data subject, the subject should contact an employee. The employee will inform the subject if the provision of personal data is a legal or contractual obligation or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, if there is an obligation to provide the data, as well as the consequences of not providing the personal data.

15. Automated Decision Making Process

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling processes.
