Principles governing the marketing of hairmony.gr

1. Data permission

This point is about how we manage the consent of our users in our email campaigns. From now on, in a very clear, informative and direct way, with a "clean" affirmative command we should get the user's consent. This practically means that customers, cooperating agencies, partners and the general public must come forward and declare that they want you to send them your material. 

2. Data access

The Regulation offers everyone the right to gain control over how their personal data is collected and used. It is the responsibility of the marketer to provide the user with easy and direct access to their data and to give them the possibility to withdraw their consent if they wish. More practically, we have a specific email marketing template where we enable the user to unsubscribe from our list.

3. Data focus (focus on what data we need)

With the GDPR we justify why we need the specific information we request.

Lawful basis of processing

According to the GDPR, the processing must be based on a lawful basis. The basis on which we process your personal data may be one or more of the following:

  • The fulfillment of a contract.
  • The company's compliance with a legal or regulatory duty.
  • Your consent, such as when you choose to send informational emails or newsletters.
  • The satisfaction of our company's legitimate interests, such as direct marketing, fraud prevention, ensuring network and information security.

Who we share your personal data with
