Data Protection
How we use your information, how we protect it and the choices available to you.
Who we are
Chaniotis Paros Rentals is a vehicle rental service based on Paros Island, Greece. Our website is parosrentals.gr.
This policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal data when you use our website, and describes your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Your data. Your rights.
You have rights over your personal information under the GDPR. Their application depends on the circumstances and the legal basis for processing.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before you withdrew it.

Contact forms
When you submit a contact form, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address and message. We use this information to respond to your enquiry. Service providers supporting the website may process this information on our behalf, as described below.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to Gravatar to check whether you use the service. See the Automattic privacy policy. After approval, your profile picture is publicly visible alongside your comment.
Uploaded images
If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download images and extract this information.
Registered accounts
For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit or delete their profile information, except their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Cookies & website preferences
The cookie descriptions below relate to the relevant website features when you use them.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect login and other website functions.
Embedded content & analytics
Content from other websites
Pages may include embedded content such as videos, images or articles. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the originating website.
Those websites may collect information about you, use cookies, include additional tracking and monitor your interaction with their content, including when you are logged into an account with that provider.
Analytics
We may use third-party analytics services to understand website traffic and usage, including pages visited, time spent on the website and referral sources.
Information received from third parties
We may receive information from analytics services or advertising platforms to help us understand website traffic and usage trends.
Sharing & processing your data
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal data.
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, including hosting, analytics and security providers.
Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service. Information may also be processed by third-party hosting, security and analytics providers.
How long we keep your data
Comments
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognised and approved automatically rather than held in a moderation queue.
Account information
We store the personal information registered users provide in their profiles. Users can view, edit or delete their information, except their username.
Records we must retain
A request to delete information does not require us to erase records that must be retained to meet legal obligations or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Security & data breaches
Protecting your information
We implement security measures including encryption, access controls and regular monitoring of our systems to protect personal information.
Responding to a breach
If a personal data breach occurs, we assess its impact, take steps to contain it and notify the relevant authority and affected individuals where required by law.
Automated decisions & profiling
We do not perform automated decision-making or profiling with user data.
