01. Summary of Arbitrans Privacy Policy
Use of Arbitrans services requires acceptance of the Privacy Policy in accordance with the GDPR. Personal data are collected and used solely for communication purposes and are not disclosed to third parties without written consent or legal obligation. Processing takes place via the Azure platform, and all information remains within Northern Switzerland. Only essential data (name, email, phone number, etc.) are collected, with the possibility for deletion upon request by the End User, while records are retained for 10 years. Security is ensured through strict measures, although complete security cannot be guaranteed. The use of cookies is strictly for website functionality and requires consent. Minors must have parental permission to submit information. For complaints regarding personal data, the End User may contact the relevant authority after communicating with the company.

03. General Provisions
Your personal data is shared only with your written consent or when required by applicable law. The staff of Arbitrans retains rights of access and correction to your data solely upon your instruction.

04. Personal Data Protection
The data you provide through the website form is used exclusively with your consent. Submission of the form requires ticking the relevant checkbox. To exercise your rights or to file a complaint regarding your personal data, you may contact the Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).
Your data is not transferred to people outside Arbitrans. Nor is any data processing carried out by third parties or partners.
For robust protection, your data is stored solely on Azure and therefore benefits from all of Microsoft’s security systems. As such, the management of any data breach incidents and the necessary actions, such as user notifications, will be handled by Azure. The Azure server is located in Northern Switzerland. Apart from Azure, there is no possibility of your data being transferred to third countries.

06. Withdrawal of consent for the use of personal data
The processing of your personal data is immediately discontinued upon your official notification (except SMS). In the absence of such notification, the permission to use your data remains valid indefinitely. If consent is withdrawn during the subscription period, the service is terminated without the possibility of a refund. Upon the expiry of the subscription, your data, excluding name, telephone number, and email, will be deleted within 15 days, unless you request complete deletion, including removal from the Newsletter. Transaction documents have been retained in our records for at least 10 years, as required by applicable legislation. Beyond this, no other information about you will remain.

07. Other Cases of Personal Data Processing
Cloud Service
The End User’s data is securely stored on a remote server, with access permitted exclusively through a personal security code. In the event of a lost code, Arbitrans may issue a temporary code, which the End User must immediately change.
Software Error Recovery
The database is sent to Arbitrans only if this is provided for in the accountants’ privacy policy for their clients.
Note: Arbitrans assumes it has the relevant authorization upon receipt of data. Any unlawful use of personal data is the responsibility of the accountant in the event that client approval has not been previously obtained.
08. Risks When Submitting Personal Data
The submission of personal data always involves risks, as no system can guarantee absolute security. Arbitrans implements all necessary protection measures, such as encryption where required, through Microsoft’s SQL Server database in order to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. However, complete protection cannot be ensured.

Browsing the websites is possible without providing personal information; however, cookies may be stored on your computer upon your consent. Cookies help improve the functionality and user experience of the website, do not collect personal information, and can be deleted whenever you wish.
10. The Collection of Other Data
For security reasons, when the program operates online, only the last log-in and log-out details are retained to detect possible breaches. In offline use, the data is sent during the next internet connection.
