Data Protection

PAN OIKOS informs that, for the purpose of conducting its business activities, it processes personal data of its customers.

The GDPR is the new regulatory framework of the European Union (EU) in the examined field. The purpose of the law is to establish the conditions for the processing of personal data, aimed at protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals, particularly the right to personal data protection.

It should also be noted that PAN OIKOS does not store sensitive personal data related to users’ financial transactions with it (e.g., credit/debit card numbers and CVC).

How and why do we use your personal data?

Account Creation
Personal data is collected when you create an account on https://panoikos.gr/, a website managed by PAN OIKOS. During the account creation process, you may be asked for additional information; however, the minimum required for the conclusion and execution of the contract will be marked as mandatory fields.

To create an account, the following personal details are required: Full Name, Mailing Address, Postal Code, Region, City, Country, Landline Phone, and your Email Address. Then, you will need to set your personal password. To complete your registration, you must read the terms of use, check the checkbox (box) for “I Agree,” and fill in the text for the verification of your registration.

Your registration is complete. Your username is now your email address, and the password is your personal password.

The user should not share their personal password with third parties, nor should they store it in electronic or printed form, to prevent any unauthorized use. In case the password is disclosed to a third party, the user is obligated to immediately inform PAN OIKOS.

In the case of a data breach, PAN OIKOS bears no responsibility unless it has been previously informed about the unauthorized use of these details.

Order Execution
Personal data is collected when you place an order on our e-shop, https://panoikos.gr/. To complete your order and create an account, you may be asked for additional details, but these will be the minimum required for the conclusion and execution of the contract. These details will be marked as mandatory fields. The information in this account will be used to complete the order, and you will need to provide additional details, such as payment method information, a different shipping address (optional), and details for issuing an invoice (Tax ID, Tax Office, Occupation, company name), where necessary.

As part of the order completion process, some of this data is transferred to partner companies. Therefore, it is shared with courier companies for the transport and delivery of your goods. The courier companies may contact you to request clarifications and inform you about the delivery of your products. Additionally, the data is shared during the payment process with payment providers (banks, interbank systems, PayPal). We, on our part, use high-security systems to prevent data leakage from malicious systems.

The legal basis is the voluntary publication of your information on search engines and your registration in social media services, where the publication of information is taken as explicit consent based on the settings of the applications you manage.

The legal bases for the above processing are both the performance of our contractual obligations (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)) and the legitimate interest of our company (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).

Data Retention Period

The data retention period is determined based on the following specific criteria, depending on the case:

  • When processing is required by provisions of the applicable legal framework, your personal data will be stored for the period mandated by the relevant provisions.
  • When processing is carried out based on a contract, your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to perform the contract and for the establishment, exercise, and/or defense of legal claims based on the contract.

For the purposes of promoting products and services (marketing activities), your personal data will be retained until the withdrawal of your consent. This can be done by you at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
