Privacy Statement

When providing our products and services, Publior acts as “data controller”. We collect and process information mainly on companies and businesses. However, in the process of doing so, we also process data that may be qualified as “personal data” under European Union (“EU”) law as it is information relating to an individual (e.g. a sole trader, a company director, a beneficial owner, a professional contact etc.). Your trust in how we handle your personal data is important to us. When you use our websites, applications, portals, sign-up for our newsletters, engage our services as a representative or contact person of our customer, trade (as a counterparty) with our customers or do business with us as our business partner or supplier, it is important to us to use your personal data carefully in a transparent manner.

In this Privacy Statement we provide information we are required to give in relation to the processing of personal data under EU law. We explain for instance the purposes and grounds of the processing of personal data, the categories of personal data concerned, the categories of the sources and the recipients of the personal data, data retention and your rights as data subject.

Publior adhere to all applicable local data protection and privacy legislation, regulations and guidance under Greek Law including EU regulations.

Publior Apps may also have additional privacy notices on their own (local) websites.
