  • Browser type and version.
  • Device and operating system information.
  • Date and time of requests.
  • Requested pages and server response information.

Personal information may be processed for purposes including:

Responding to enquiries: To answer questions, provide travel information and respond to requests submitted through our contact channels.

Providing requested services: To communicate about travel planning or other services you have asked us to provide.

Website operation and security: To maintain the website, investigate technical problems, prevent spam and protect against unauthorised activity.

Website improvement: Where permitted, to understand how visitors use our website and improve navigation, content and performance.

Marketing communications: To send newsletters or promotional messages only where an appropriate legal basis exists, including consent where required.

Legal compliance: To satisfy applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the purpose, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases under Article 6 of the GDPR:

  • Consent: Where you have expressly agreed to specific processing, such as optional cookies or marketing communications requiring consent.
  • Contractual necessity: Where processing is necessary to provide a service you requested or take steps before entering into a contract.
  • Legitimate interests: Where appropriate for website security, preventing misuse, managing ordinary business communications and maintaining our services, subject to your rights and interests.
  • Legal obligations: Where processing is required by applicable law.

We do not rely on consent for every processing activity, and consent may be withdrawn whenever it is the applicable legal basis.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a visitor’s device.

Greece VIP may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, save preferences, maintain security and, where enabled, measure website usage.

Essential Cookies

These may be necessary for security, technical operation and services specifically requested by users.

Strictly necessary cookies generally do not require consent under applicable rules.

Analytics Cookies

If analytics technologies are enabled, they may help us understand website traffic, visitor interactions and technical performance.

Where required by law, these technologies will be activated only after the visitor provides appropriate consent.

Third-Party and Marketing Cookies

External booking widgets, embedded content and affiliate technologies may involve cookies or similar tracking technologies operated by third parties.

Where consent is required, these technologies should not be activated before that consent has been obtained.

Visitors must be able to manage or withdraw optional cookie consent through the website’s available privacy controls.

A separate Cookie Policy or cookie information panel may provide further details about the actual technologies used, their providers, purposes and retention periods.

6. Third-Party Booking Platforms

Greece VIP includes links and booking tools associated with independent travel platforms, including GetYourGuide and Viator.

When you interact with these services, the relevant provider may collect personal information directly from you.

Information collected by those providers is handled according to their own privacy policies and booking terms.

We recommend reviewing the applicable policy before making a booking or submitting payment information.

Greece VIP does not automatically receive all information supplied during transactions completed on third-party websites.

7. Embedded Content

Our website may display content supplied by external services, including videos, maps, travel widgets and booking tools.

Embedded content may allow the relevant provider to receive technical information or collect additional data when the content loads or when you interact with it.

Such processing may be governed by the third party’s own privacy policy.

Where legally required, optional embedded tracking technologies should be subject to your consent.

8. Contact Forms and Communications

When you send an enquiry through our website or by email, we process the information necessary to read, manage and respond to your message.

We may retain relevant correspondence for an appropriate period where necessary for customer service, legitimate business records, contractual purposes or legal obligations.

Information provided through contact forms is not automatically treated as consent to receive promotional emails.

9. Newsletter and Marketing Communications

Where Greece VIP offers a newsletter, visitors may choose to subscribe.

When consent is the legal basis for marketing, subscription must be voluntary and users must have the opportunity to withdraw consent.

Marketing emails will provide an unsubscribe method or other appropriate means to opt out.

We do not use contact enquiries as automatic newsletter subscriptions.

10. How We Protect Personal Information

We seek to apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse and unlawful disclosure.

These measures may include access controls, secure connections, software maintenance, system monitoring and appropriate hosting security.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

11. Sharing Personal Information

Where necessary and legally permitted, personal information may be processed by service providers supporting our website and communications.

These may include:

  • Web hosting and infrastructure providers.
  • Website maintenance and technical support services.
  • Email and communication service providers.
  • Security and spam-prevention services.
  • Analytics providers, where enabled.
  • Booking and affiliate partners, where applicable.

Service providers acting as data processors must be subject to appropriate contractual and data protection obligations.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

12. International Data Transfers

Some third-party services may process personal information outside the European Economic Area.

Where such transfers occur, we will assess and apply the safeguards required by applicable data protection legislation, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards, where relevant.

Further information about applicable transfers and safeguards may be requested through our privacy contact.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary according to the type of information, the purpose of processing and legal requirements.

Technical logs, contact enquiries, business correspondence and consent records may have different retention schedules.

When information is no longer required, it should be deleted or anonymised, unless continued retention is legally justified.

14. Your Rights Under the GDPR

Subject to the conditions established by applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Request deletion of personal information.
  • Request restriction of certain processing activities.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Our website is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children without an appropriate legal basis.

If you believe that personal information relating to a child has been submitted inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

16. External Websites
