In order to be able to provide you with our services, while also complying with our legal obligations, we process information concerning the Website visitors, which may lead, directly or indirectly, to their identification.
According to the respective legal framework, some of this information is “personal data”, while you, the visitors or members, are characterized as “data subjects” and we are the “controllers” of your data.
In case you have any questions regarding the processing of your data or the exercise of your rights, you are more than welcome to contact us.
Basic data processing principles
We are committed to ensure that your personal data will be processed in a fair and transparent manner, according to the legal framework, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In plain terms, this means that:
- We process your data only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes (purpose limitation)
- We process only data which are adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes set (data minimisation)
- We make every effort in order to ensure that your data are accurate (accuracy)
- We keep your data in a form which permits your identification for no longer than is necessary for the purposes set (storage limitation).
- We make every effort in order to ensure the security of your data (integrity and confidentiality).
In order to ensure the protection of your data, the Company takes all appropriate technical and organisational measures, trains its staff and uses technologies which ensure the security of your data (for example SSL certificate, encryption, certified hosting providers).
We monitor the security measures on a regular basis and, if deemed necessary, we align them with the new best practises.
What types of data we process
Typically, we process your data through the Website only when you provide them in an active manner to us, e.g. by filling out a contact form, or making a reservation.
