Personal Data Protection
Use of the services offered by www.thepressproject.gr, including the online shopping services for ThePressProject products, requires ensuring that we can communicate with you. Therefore, when you register with the site, it is necessary that you provide true and accurate data, such as your name, email address, postal address and phone number. When you register with www.thepressproject.gr and enter the required data, you give your consent for the collection, use and processing of the personal data that you enter voluntarily for the reasons explained below.
ThePressProject pledges to protect your personal data and complies with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
ThePressProject exclusively collects and keeps personal data that you have provided by entering the required information in the corresponding fields and/or your answers as above, as well as in the context of specific actions carried out by ThePressProject, in which you have participated voluntarily.
The www.thepressproject.gr website needs the following data so that you may register or place your online order: your name, address (in the event of shipment to your address), your email address, your contact phone number, your invoicing details (if an invoice needs to be issued) and the IP address you use when you place your order.
The purpose of collecting, using and processing the personal data you disclose to the company is to provide the products and services you request from the website, whose receipt requires this data’s use and/or processing, e.g. online orders, and sale and promotion of products and services provided by ThePressProject.
As part of the provision of these products and services, ThePressProject reserves the right to use the contact details you disclose for sending information, as well as emails about products and services and relevant offers and/or announcements.
Advertising, promotional and/or informational emails are sent via a third party, who is legally bound as to protecting and keeping your personal data.
If you no longer wish for your personal data to be used to receive these types of notifications from ThePressProject, you can send an email to [email protected] from the email address you had filled in when you registered, stating “I DON’T WISH TO RECEIVE INFORMATIONAL MATERIAL”.
You may also unsubscribe from notifications and promotional actions at any time by clicking on Unsubscribe at the bottom of each promotional and/or advertising email or through the corresponding communication channels.
Transaction security
ThePressProject recognises the significance of keeping personal data and online transactions safe and secure, and has taken all the necessary measures, using the most modern and advanced methods, so as to ensure maximum security. All information relating to your personal data is secure and confidential.
To ensure the protection of your personal data, ThePressProject uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is the most reliable standard globally for secure online transactions. With this technology, any information you enter on our site is encrypted before being sent online and then the authenticity of the message and the server is investigated.
The SSL comes in 2 strengths, 40-bit and 128-bit. The higher the cipher strength the harder it is to crack an encrypted message. We use 128-bit SSL, which is a trillion times stronger that the 40-bit ones.
Furthermore, ThePressProject has a Cloudfare digital protection certificate. Cloudfare is an internationally recognised leader in the provision of online transaction and data protection.
Each time that you visit a page to exchange information, Cloudfare places a padlock icon at the beginning of the https://www.thepressproject.gr address, confirming that the data is encrypted and the transaction protected.
Finally, your password you register when you become a member of www.thepressproject.gr is your personal safeguard. Before we can display any of your personal data, you must first enter your username and password. That’s why you must keep this information safe, so they are not at risk of falling into the hands of a third party. We also advise that you change these credentials frequently.
All transactions you carry out through www.thepressproject.gr are governed by the international and European legislation on e-commerce regulation, as well as the Greek Law on consumer protection (Law 2251/1994), which regulates matters that relate to the online sales of products and services.
