The legal basis for the processing of data is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. My legitimate interest relies on the above-mentioned data collection purposes. Under no circumstances will I use the data collected, in order to draw any conclusions regarding you.

Furthermore, I may use cookies, when you visit my website. For further information in this regard, please see below under section 4 hereof.

The processing of data for the purpose of contacting me is subject to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR based on your voluntary consent or, as the case may be, on my legitimate interest in replying to your request under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

b) Processing of personal data, when you sent an email to me

You may contact me by sending an email to the email address laux@laux.gr, which is mentioned on the website. This email address primarily serves the purpose of communicating with me, in order to initiate a new contract or to communicate during any such contractual relationship already existing. By way of email you may transfer a variety of data to me. Usually, with your email you will transfer to me, due to technical reasons, among others, your email address and your IP address as well as any other information that you include in such email yourself. All data sent to me this way will be stored in the email inbox on the server of my email provider and also locally on my computer(s). The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR. If you contact me by email, in order to exercise your rights as a data subject, the legal basis for the processing of data will be Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. If you send any special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR to me (e.g. health data), the legal basis for the processing of data will be Art. 6(1)(b), Art. 9(2)(f) GDPR. If you contact me, in order to initiate a new contractual relationship, but such relationship was not established, I will delete all relevant communication, as soon as the legal grounds for storage have ceased to exist and provided that there are no legal retention duties. If you contact me to exercise any of your rights as a data subject, I will delete all relevant communication, as well, as soon as the legal grounds for storage have ceased to exist and provided that there are no legal retention duties. The provision of such personal data is not mandatory according to the law or any contract. However, the provision of such data may be necessary to conclude a contract, though you are not obliged to provide any personal data.

7. Data security

During your website visit, I use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This will usually be a 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256 bit encryption, 128 bit v3 technology will be used instead. You may recognize whether a specific page on our website is transmitted in encrypted form, if you see a locked key or, as the case may be, a lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

Apart from that, I have appropriate technical and organizational security measures in place to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures will be continuously improved according to technological development.
