5. Processing Based on Legal & Regulatory Obligations
In certain cases, Porto Scuba IKE is required to process personal data in order to comply
with Greek legal and regulatory obligations related to tourism, safety, insurance,
transportation, maritime activities, and other regulated services.
This processing is carried out under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (compliance with a legal obligation)
and is not based on consent.
Depending on the activity, this may include the collection of identification and participation
details required by competent authorities, insurers, or regulatory bodies.
Such data is used exclusively for compliance, safety, and legal purposes and is never used
for marketing unless the individual has explicitly opted in separately.
Personal data processed under legal or regulatory obligations is retained for the period
required by applicable Greek legislation, which may extend up to 10 years.

We send marketing communications only to individuals who have explicitly consented
to receive such material, for example during booking or form submission.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe options provided.

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the personal data you provide

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object
to the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to withdraw consent
where processing is based on consent.
Requests may be submitted using the contact details above.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data.
However, no internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

significant effects on individuals.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect legal, technical,
or operational changes. The most current version will always be available
