This Privacy Policy explains how Athens Art Academy processes personal data on AthensArtNews.com in connection with executive training content, inquiries, and related site functions.
We use personal data to operate and secure the site, respond to inquiries, manage registrations or participation in executive training activities, provide requested content or services, maintain records, analyse site performance, improve functionality, and comply with legal obligations.
We may share personal data with hosting, analytics, security, communication, and administrative service providers that support the operation of the site. These parties act on our instructions or under their own legal responsibilities, and they are expected to use the data only for the services they provide.
We may disclose personal data when required to comply with law, court orders, regulatory requests, or other legal obligations. We may also share information to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the site, users, or others.
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.
To exercise a privacy right, submit a clear request using the contact details in this policy and describe the data or processing activity involved. We may need to verify your identity and may decline or limit a request where the law permits.
We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet legal or accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to maintain records required for legitimate business operations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it where feasible.
When we make material changes, we will update the policy on the site and may provide additional notice where appropriate. The date of the latest revision should be reviewed periodically.
Under the GDPR, we process personal data only where we have a lawful basis, such as consent, contract performance, legal obligation, or legitimate interests. We apply data minimisation, purpose limitation, and security measures appropriate to the nature of the processing.
If the GDPR applies to you, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability where applicable. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
We may collect identifiers and contact details, account or registration information, training and inquiry details, payment-related records where applicable, device and usage data, and communications sent to us. In an executive training context, this may include information about course interest, attendance, and participation.
We receive data directly from you when you submit forms, register, or communicate with us. We also collect data automatically through the site, including browser and device information, log data, and cookie-related signals. In some cases, we may receive limited information from service providers that support our operations.
The site may use strictly necessary cookies to support core functions, functional cookies to remember choices, and analytics cookies to understand site use and improve content. Cookies may be session-based or persistent, depending on their purpose and lifespan.
You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. If the site provides a cookie banner or preference tool, you can use it to manage non-essential cookies. Some cookies are necessary for basic site functions and may not be disabled without affecting performance.
