You will find information about this below in section 9 “Who are the recipients of your Data? How your Data is shared”.

Below you will find details of how we use your Data and why:

To provide information about the Sites, Apps and services you request

Product Orders. If we do not collect your Data when you complete the order either from our physical stores or from our online store, we will not be able to process your order and comply with our legal obligations. It may be necessary to transfer your Data to third parties in order to supply or deliver the product or service you have ordered. In addition, we may retain your Data for a reasonable period of time in order to fulfil our contractual obligations, such as product returns, as required by relevant legislation.
Creating a User Account: The Company processes your Data in order to provide you with account functions and to facilitate the purchase of products and/or services.
Contact: The Company uses your Data to respond to your requests/queries, refund requests and/or complaints. The information you share with us enables us to manage your requests and respond to you in the best possible way. We may also keep a record of your queries/requests to us so that we can better respond to any future communication. We do this based on our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests to provide you with the best possible service and to be able to improve our services based on your personal experience.
Sometimes, we will need to share your Data with a third party providing a service (such as a courier delivery or a technician visiting your home). Without sharing your Personal Data, we would not be able to fulfill your request.

Finding a job: The Company processes your Data for the purpose of assessing your qualifications and skills for the position for which you have applied or for another position within the Company and for the purpose of contacting you in connection with this purpose.

To communicate information about our products, services and events, and for other promotional purposes

We want to provide you with offers and proposals that are most relevant to your interests. To help us form a better and more general understanding of you as a customer, we combine your personal data gathered throughout our relationship with each other, for example your shopping history both in our physical stores and in our online store. To this end, we also combine Data that we collect directly from you with Data that we receive from third parties to whom you have given your consent to transfer this Data to us. For example, by combining this Data, this will help us to tailor your experience and decide what inspiration or content to share with you. We also use anonymised data from customer purchase history to identify trends in different regions of the country. This can then guide which products we display in specific stores.
To show you the most interesting content on our Sites or Apps, we will use the Data we maintain about your favorite products. This is based on your consent to receive Apps notifications or – for our Sites – your consent to place cookies on your device. For example, we may display a list of products you have recently looked at or offer you recommendations based on your shopping history and any other Data you have shared with us.
To send you survey and evaluation requests so that we can improve our services. These messages will not include promotional content and will not require prior consent when sent by email or text message (SMS).

Operating CCTV Systems. We do this based on our legitimate business interests.

10. Is your Data safe?

We are committed to safeguarding your Personal Data.

Recognizing the importance of the security of your Personal Data, we have taken all appropriate organizational and technical measures to ensure the security and protection of your Data from any form of accidental or unlawful processing. We use the most modern and advanced methods to ensure maximum security.

The www.autotrust.gr website uses the TLS protocol, for secure online commercial transactions. This encrypts all Data you provide, including your credit card number, name and address, so that it cannot be decrypted or altered during transmission over the Internet.

In addition, the data used to identify you as an account user are two: your Username and your Personal Secret Security Code (Password). Each time you enter your details, you are granted access to your personal account. This process is achieved securely through encryption during their transfer to the Internet and the Company’s servers. Following the same standards, you are given the opportunity to change your Personal Secret Security Code (Password) as often as you wish. After entering the desired password, the new password is encrypted and stored in the Company’s systems. For this reason, the only person who knows your password is you, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of the password from third parties.

These measures are reviewed and modified when necessary.
