This Privacy Policy explains what information we might collect about you, how we might use that information, and what information of yours we might share with others. Lastly we want to ensure you are aware about your choices concerning the information you give us. As used herein, the reference to “we,” “us,” and “our” means Karaiskos & Associates Law Firm. “You” and “your” means the person who is viewing or using our website.

For the purpose of the relevant data protection regulations, Karaiskos & Associates Law Firm is the “data controller” of your information. If you have any questions about how we protect or use your data, please email us at info@ekaraiskos.gr.

2. What does this policy cover? 

This policy covers the information and or services that are provided by us through our website.

3. What’s not covered in this policy? 

Sometimes we link to website by other companies. Those companies have their own privacy policies, so remember that the information you give them will follow their rules and not ours. Be sure to check their privacy policy so you know how they will use your information. 

4. How do we protect your personal information? 

We’re strongly committed to keeping your information safe. And to do this we have technical and operational safeguards to protect your information against accidental or deliberate manipulations, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. For example our website uses a technology known as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for establishing encryption to help protect your information.

Whilst we endeavour to take as many measures as practicably possible, no one is exempt from threat. Furthermore we ask you to safeguard your own use of our services – if you have any concerns that your information has been put at risk, please let us know immediately.

5. Where do we store your information? 

Some companies that provide services to us run their services from outside the European Economic Area (EEA). So please keep in mind that when you give us personal information it could be being transferred, stored or processed in a location outside the EEA. However please be assured this only occurs when we are satisfied their security matches or exceeds ours, we select who we work with carefully.

6. What information do we collect? 

The information will collect can be classified as personal information and technical information. Both are described below:

6.1. Personal Information

Personal Information, is the information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable person. We collect your Personal Information when you provide it to us, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and any financial details. Examples of this are when you contact us, either by email, using our Contact Form.

If you submit any Personal Information relating to other people to us or to our website, we respectfully request, where possible you, first seek the necessary authority to do so before permitting us to use the information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. This information may be deemed your Personal Information.

6.2. Technical Information

Technical Information does not reveal your individual identity or does not directly relate to an individual. It’s about the technology you are using to access our services such as:

  • IP (Internet protocol) address of your computer or mobile device

  • Internet browser type and version

  • Data concerning your usage of our website

This information is sent to us via the computer or mobile device you’re using to access our website. Furthermore if you’ve mentioned us on social media such as Facebook we may collect and use a copy of this information for our own intents and purposes.

7. How long do we keep your information? 

When you give us any personal information we only hold your information for as long as we need to in order to fulfil the services you have requested or if we have a valid reason to keep it for longer. We always consider the type of information it is, the amount collected, how sensitive it might be and any legal requirements that are necessary. But in principle we don’t hold your information any longer than we have to.

8. How might we use your personal information? 

Only when we have a valid reason to use your personal information. This is called the “lawful basis for processing”. Sometimes we might ask your permission to do things, like subscribing to a newsletter, for example. Other times, when you’d reasonably expect us to use your personal information, we don’t ask your permission, but only when the law says it’s fine to use it or it fits with the rights you have.

We use your information for these types of things:

  • to fulfill the services you have requested

  • to contact you about various things

  • to deal with requested, complaints and enquiries

  • to help us improve our services

We may also aggregate personal information to help us understand our customer base but this will not personally identify you as an individual. 

9. When will we use your information to contact you? 

We might use your information to contact you about various things, like: 

  • to liaise with you about the services you’ve requested or signed up for

  • to answer you when you’ve contacted us, comment response or complaint 

  • to update you on any changes to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use 

  • to invite you to take part in surveys about our services, which are always voluntary 

We’ll only contact you when we need to or when you’ve given us permission. 

10. Will you be contacted for marketing purposes? 

We’ll only send you marketing emails or contact you if you’ve agreed to or have subscribed to receive our newsletter via our website.

11. Will your personal information be shared with other companies? 

We’ll never sell your personal information. We do share it with others in these ways: 

  • for the fulfilment of any requested services by you, where we have entered into an agreement with any affiliates, business partners, joint marketers, suppliers and sub-contractors;

  • by you, upon our website, where permitted to post information. For example, testimonials or obituary notices. Please note that any such information you post or disclose through our website will be publicly available; 

  • analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our website. 

  • by you, when choosing to share any content of our website or social media accounts. And you understand that the use of the information we share will be governed by the social media site’s privacy policy, not ours; 

  • in the event of any business merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer of all or any portion of our business; 

  • if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or if required by law;

  • to prevent and detect fraud or crime;

We make sure that your personal information is looked after as if we were handling it ourselves. We carefully select these companies, and only share with them what they need to in order to fulfil the work on our behalf. 

12. You’re in control of your data 

You’re always in control of the information we hold about you. By contacting us anytime you can: 

  • ask us what personal information we hold about you 

  • ask us to correct or delete your personal information 

  • request a copy of your information

  • change your mind, and ask us to stop using your information. For example, unsubscribing from any marketing emails

Bear in mind, sometimes we might not be able to help. Like if the law tells us we can’t otherwise we will always put your needs before ours.

13. Cookies and tracking technologies 

Our website uses a technology known as cookies. Cookies are small data files used to store and exchange information that is not personally identifiable to you but are used to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good user experience and also allows us to improve our website. We mentioned earlier that we may also gather technical information (ref section 6.2.) about your use of our website in order to continually improve its design and functionality. 

We may also choose to implement similar technologies such as, but not limited to, Google Analytics to track the performance of our online marketing. 

13.1  How long do cookies last? 

Some cookies are erased when you close your internet browser. Others stay longer, sometimes forever, and are saved onto your device so that they’re there when you come back. Generally speaking they exist to provide you with a better user experience.

13.2  How do we control your cookies and tracking? 

When you first visit our website, we’ll tell you about our cookies and ask you to agree if we can use them. You can always disable cookies by going to your Internet browser settings however, keep in mind that by disabling cookies might mean some of our website services might not work properly for you.  

14. Changes to this policy? 

We update this policy sometimes. Therefore we recommend you regularly review this Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree to the changes, then you can choose to stop using our website.
