INTRODUCTION

This privacy policy outlines the methods by which The Purple Pig processes information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual ("Personal Data") collected through the use of the website www.purplepigstars.gr when interacting with us. You can navigate our website without providing any personal information. Your personal information will only be requested when you choose to communicate with us. This Privacy Policy applies to all facilities and digital platforms of The Purple Pig.

Our website is in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data ("GDPR"), which is a directly binding legislative act. The GDPR introduces some new rights for individuals and enhances some of the rights that already existed under Directive 95/46/EC. Directive 95/46/EC will be repealed on May 25, 2018, when the GDPR comes into effect. Additionally, our website is fully compliant with Law 4624/2019 (Government Gazette A 137/29-8-2019), which has been implemented in Greece for the Protection of Personal Data.

Any processing of personal data carried out by The Purple Pig is done in such a way as to ensure its confidentiality. All information is securely stored, and access to it is only permitted to authorized personnel. The Purple Pig implements and continually improves the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data of Users, Visitors, and Customers (all referred to as "Data Subjects") from unauthorized or unlawful processing and use, as well as from any potential loss, destruction, damage, theft, or unauthorized access.

At The Purple Pig, we are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy, as well as safeguarding your personal data. Therefore, and in compliance with the current legal framework, we provide you with a lawful, fair, and transparent policy to inform you about the personal data we collect, how we use it, and how the use of this information can enhance your experience during your visit to our facilities and/or our electronic platforms.

Through this Privacy Policy, our aim is to transparently inform you about the processing of your personal data. However, as our activities and consequently the forms of processing evolve continuously, not all forms of processing may be included herein. In the event that a new form is added, we will ensure to update this Privacy Policy, and in any case, we will provide you with the necessary information before collecting your personal data.


COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL DATA
LEGAL BASIS FOR THE USE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The Purple Pig only collects those personal data that are necessary to fulfill your requests. Whenever additional, optional information is sought, you will be informed at the time of collecting such data, and your prior consent for processing will be required.

Our current legal framework allows us to process personal data only if we have a lawful basis to do so. Therefore, when processing your personal data, we rely on one of the following processing conditions:

Consent: Occasionally, your consent may be requested to process certain personal data. The processing of your data will only be carried out in this manner if you explicitly agree to it (Article 6, paragraph 1a of the GDPR).

Contractual performance: In cases where the processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of our obligations arising from a contract concluded between us (Article 6, paragraph 1b of the GDPR).

Legal obligation: This occurs in cases where we are required to process your personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation, such as, but not limited to: a) maintaining records for tax purposes, b) providing information to a public authority, c) complying with the requirements of a legal or regulatory provision or a court decision (Article 6, paragraph 1c of the GDPR).

Protection of vital interests: This occurs in cases where the processing of your personal data is necessary to protect your vital interests (Article 6, paragraph 1d of the GDPR).

Performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority: This occurs in cases where the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority (Article 6, paragraph 1e of the GDPR).

Legitimate interest: We may process your personal data in cases where such processing constitutes a legitimate interest of our company in carrying out a lawful activity, ensuring the continuity of that activity. This processing will, of course, not override your interests, freedoms, and fundamental rights (Article 6, paragraph 1f of the GDPR).

The Purple Pig does not process personal data concerning a person's race, ethnicity, political beliefs, participation in trade unions, religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs, physical or mental health, sexual life and orientation, data related to criminal convictions and offenses.

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We will retain your personal data only for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including the fulfillment of legal accounting and tax obligations/requirements. To determine how long we should retain your personal data, we take into account the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, in accordance with applicable legal requirements. By law, we are required to retain basic information about our guests and customers (including contact information, identification, financial data, and transaction and billing data) for six years after the termination of the contract (hospitality) for tax purposes. In some cases, we may remove your identity from your personal data (so that you cannot be identified) for statistical purposes, and in this case, we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.


RIGHTS OF THE SUBJECTS

The new GDPR Regulation provides you with the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data:

  • Right of Access: You can request access to your personal data. This allows you to receive a copy/copies of your personal data held by The Purple Pig.

  • Right to Rectification: You can request the rectification of your personal data. This provides you with the opportunity to correct any incomplete or inaccurate data held by The Purple Pig. In this case, we will need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide us with.

  • Right to Erasure: You can request the erasure of your personal data. This gives you the ability to request the deletion or removal of personal data in cases where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.

  • Right to Restriction of Processing: You can request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

  • Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time in cases where the processing of your data is based on the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in The Purple Pig, or if the processing is for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by The Purple Pig or a third party.

  • Right to Portability: You can request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time in cases where you have previously provided your consent for the processing of your personal data.

If you withdraw your consent, The Purple Pig may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. You will be informed accordingly at the time of submitting your request.
