Information collection and use
How do we collect information?
GreeceUnlimited.com collects information in two possible ways:
- When you directly give it to us (“Directly Provided Data”)
When you sign up for our site or communicate with us, you may choose to voluntarily give us certain information – for example, by filling in text boxes or completing registration forms. All this information requires a direct action by you at that time in order for us to receive it.
Depending on your settings or the privacy policies for other online services, you may give us permission to obtain information from your account with those other services. For example, this can be via social media or by choosing to send us your location data when accessing our website from your smartphone or computer. Another example of this is if you for example share any content from our website to any of your social media accounts.
How long do we keep your data for?
GreeceUnlimited.com will not retain your personal information longer than necessary. We will hold onto the information you provide either while your account is in existence, or as needed to be able to provide the Services to you, or (in the case of any communication you initiate with us) for as long as is necessary to provide support-related reporting and trend analysis only.
If legally required or if it is reasonably necessary to meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud and abuse, or enforce our Terms and Conditions, we may also retain some of your information for a limited period of time as required, even after you have closed your account or it is no longer needed to provide the Services to you.
Registration forms
GreeceUnlimited.com will never sell or rent your personally identifiable information, gathered as a result of filling out the site registration form or to sign-up to our newsletter to anyone.
