For any other form of processing, RELEVANCE DIGITAL S.A. requests special written, free, and after prior informed consent of the subjects before the start of the processing, if required. Failure to provide personal data in the context of a legal or contractual obligation or requirement to conclude a contract may give rise to legal consequences or even an inability to service the contract. The overriding legitimate interests of the controller prevail over the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject in the cases mentioned above and are based on the legal basis of Article 6 §1 par. f) GDPR and only for the cases of protection of persons and property of the company. In particular, in these cases, the company provides specific information to the persons whose personal data will be processed.

Table 2. The purposes and legal bases of processing

The reference to more than one legal basis of processing does not mean that RELEVANCE DIGITAL  S.A. changes them (lawful basis swapping), undermining the rights of data subjects. However, there are  cases where more than one legal basis is applicable. 

Finally, RELEVANCE DIGITAL S.A. does not use the consent of the data subjects (whether it is simple  data or special categories) as the main processing base, recognizing the inherent inequality that exists  about the data subjects at any time and under the recommendations of its Working Group No. 29 (now  European Data Protection Council). However, and exceptionally, for a few cases where additional  service is provided to the subjects (beyond the legal ones), the consent is used to a limited extent as a  legal basis for processing, and only then. 

When the company intends to process personal data for a purpose other than that for which they were  collected, it shall, as controller, provide the data subject with information for this purpose and other  necessary information prior to such further processing. 

 

Data Transfer to third parties 

The personal data collected may be shared or transmitted to third parties as long as it is required to  fulfill obligations by law or is necessary to perform our services provided in compliance with the  guarantees of the relevant legislation. We may outsource some of our services to individuals or legal  entities. Only the personal data necessary for the fulfillment of the assigned services are transmitted to  these entities, which are committed to our company in terms of confidentiality and secure processing of personal data. In cases where a transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area is  required in the context of the company's activities, the requirements of the European Union Standard  Contractual Clauses are complied with. 

 

Data Retention  

RELEVANCE DIGITAL S.A. retains your personal data for as long as the processing purpose lasts and  after its completion, for as long as it is required by legal obligations arising from provisions of E.U. or  National Law, or for as long as there are contractual obligations and possible legal claims between the  parties.

 

Rights of Data Subjects 

RELEVANCE DIGITAL S.A. recognizes individuals' rights concerning protecting their data. Thus,  natural persons have the right to: 

1. Be informed about the processing of personal data.  

2. Gain access to their data subject to Article 33 of Law 4624/2019 restrictions. 3. Request the correction of incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete personal data under certain  conditions. 

4. Submit a request for the erasure of personal data when it is no longer necessary or if the  processing is unlawful, subject to the limitations of Art. 34 Law 4624/2019. If Article 6 § 1  cases c and e. GDPR and Article 9 § 2 caseς b, g, and j GDPR indent applies as the legal basis  for processing, the right to erasure may be limited on a case-by-case basis, by the applicable  provisions. According to Recital 4 of the GDPR, the right to protect personal data is not  absolute; it must be assessed in terms of its function in society and weighed against other  fundamental rights by the principle of proportionality. 

5. Object to processing personal data for reasons related to their particular situation, subject to  Article 21 § 6 GDPR and Articles 29 and 35 of Law 4624/2019. 

6. Submit a request to restrict the processing of personal data without prejudice to Article 29 of  Law 4624/2019. 

7. Submit a request for portability subject to Article 29 of Law 4624/2019. 

8. The user can withdraw his/her consent at any time, provided that the processing of their  personal data is based on consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of  processing based on consent before its withdrawal.  

9. File a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Authority (1-3 Kifissias Avenue, 11523 - Ampelokipoi, tel. 210.647.5600, email: complaint@dpa.gr) or with the supervisory authority  of the E.U. Member State where they reside or work or with the supervisory authority of the  place of the alleged infringement.

 

Communication 

The above rights, as well as any rights related to personal data, are exercised upon a written request submitted to any point that is accessible to the public or via electronic communication by sending a message to dpo@relevancedigital.com and is also examined by the Data Protection Officer, as appointed by the company.

 

Processing principles

RELEVANCE DIGITAL S.A. accepts the basic principles governing the processing of personal data.  According to Article 5 of GDPR, personal data shall be: 

1. Processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently concerning the data subject ('lawfulness, fairness,  and transparency'). 

2. Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner  that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public  interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes shall, by Article 89(1),  not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes ('purpose limitation'). 

3. Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary about the purposes for which they are  processed ('data minimization').

Kept in a form that permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for  the purposes for which the personal data are processed; personal data may be stored for more  extended periods insofar as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in  the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes by Article  89(1) subject to the implementation of the appropriate technical and organizational measures  required by this Regulation to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject ('storage  limitation'). 

6. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including  protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or  damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures (integrity and confidentiality) .
