The website https://www.ferriesingreece.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Site” or “Website”) is owned by GREEKA Ltd (“GREEKA”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). GREEKA operates and respect your privacy and is committed to complying with this Privacy Policy, which describes how GREEKA, as a travel and software company, collects and uses the personal data you provide to us. This Privacy Policy describes what personal data we collect about you, how we collect it, how we use it, with whom we may share it, and what choices you have regarding our use of your personal data. We also describe the measures we take to protect the security of your personal data and how to contact us.

This Privacy Policy applies to GREEKA’s travel services provided to you, including via GREEKA websites that display or link to this Privacy Policy (hereinafter collectively, the “Services”). Once you leave our websites for others, the privacy policies of the other websites or applications shall apply.

We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and in its entirety as it relates to your rights regarding the processing of your personal data. As a user of our Services, you understand and agree that we collect, use, and disclose your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

GREEKA is the Data Controller as it collects personal data directly from a Data Subject. In these circumstances GREEKA will be acting under a ‘Legitimate Interest’ to legally process the data for the management of travel for the Data Subject and to fulfil the Service provided. GREEKA also acts as a Data Controller for any personal data held regarding its own employees, and legally processes this data under its Contract of Employment with those Data Subjects.

In the course of providing its Services, GREEKA collects, uses, and discloses personal data. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you. You, as a traveler or user of the Services, may be asked to provide certain personal data when you use our Services. The provision of personal information is voluntary but mandatory in order for us to fulfil the service.
