3. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data are data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and for what purpose. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Restaurant Thalassi
Sfakaki
74150 Rethymno
Greece – Crete

Tel: +30 6974 03 00 28
Email: info@~@restaurant-thalassi.gr

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or, if special categories of data are processed, based on Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data are required for contract performance or pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data when required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries outside the EU that are not considered to provide an adequate level of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in such third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, U.S. companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without you, as a data subject, being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract delivered to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipient, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to rectification or deletion of this data. For this and any other questions concerning personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published in the context of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website features would not function properly without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audiences) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data will not be merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information provided in the form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you provide via the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your concern. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially legal retention periods – remain unaffected.
