Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about the interest you show in our company. Data protection is one of the top priorities of the Management of Magnitech COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL MAGNETS OF GREECE P.C. (hereinafter magnitech.gr). The use of Magnitech.gr’s websites is possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services of the company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we request the data subject’s consent.

The processing of personal data—such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of the data subject—must always be in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as with the specific national data protection regulations applicable to Magnitech.gr. Through this data protection statement, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. In addition, data subjects are informed about their rights.

As the controller, Magnitech.gr has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for personal data processed through the website. However, data transmissions over the Internet may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, e.g., by telephone.

1. Definitions

Magnitech.gr’s data protection statement is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the GDPR. Our data protection statement should be legible and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

In this data protection statement, we use, among others, the following terms:

  • a) Personal Data Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
  • b) Data Subject A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
  • c) Processing Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
  • d) Restriction of processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
  • e) Profiling Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
  • f) Pseudonymization Pseudonymization means processing personal data in such a manner that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  • g) Controller Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
  • h) Processor Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  • i) Recipient Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
  • j) Third party Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
  • k) Consent Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Cookies

Magnitech websites use cookies. Cookies are text files stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the data subject’s browser from other browsers that contain different cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Magnitech.gr can provide users with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie settings.

By means of a cookie, information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as mentioned above, to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a website user who uses cookies does not need to enter login credentials each time they access the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie is stored on the user’s computer. The online store remembers the items placed in the shopping cart by the customer with the help of a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through the corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The Magnitech website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Data that may be collected include: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which the accessing system reaches our website (referrer), (4) the sub-pages, (5) the date and time of access, (6) the Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Magnitech.gr does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Magnitech.gr analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and security of our company and ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. Anonymous server log data are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.

5. Contact possibility via the website

The Magnitech.gr website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, and also includes a general email address (email). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The Data Protection Officer shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or for as long as this is permitted by the European legislator or by other legislators or regulations to which the controller is subject.

An employee of Magnitech.gr will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If any of the above applies and the data subject wishes to request restriction of processing of personal data stored by Magnitech.gr, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. Any employee of Magnitech.gr shall ensure that the restriction request is complied with immediately.

  • f) Right to data portability Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Magnitech.gr at any time.

  • g) Right to object Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    Magnitech.gr shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

    Where Magnitech.gr processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Magnitech.gr processing for direct marketing, Magnitech.gr will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Magnitech.gr for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

    To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Magnitech.gr at any time. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise the right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, inc;uding profiling Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, insofar as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    Where the decision is necessary for entering into or performing a contract, or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Magnitech.gr shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention, to express his or her point of view, and to contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decision-making, he or she may contact an employee of Magnitech.gr at any time.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of Magnitech.gr at any time.

8. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual environment. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or for providing personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users to create personal profiles, upload photos, and connect via friend requests.

The company operating Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a person lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By accessing individual pages of this website that is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook plug-in. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins is available at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ . During this technical procedure, Facebook becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook detects with each access to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of the stay—which specific sub-page of our website was visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the corresponding Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website (e.g., “Like”) or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component about a visit to our website whenever the data subject is logged into Facebook during the visit. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish such transmission to Facebook, he or she may prevent it by logging out of the Facebook account before visiting our website.

Facebook’s data protection guidelines, available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/ , provide information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. They also explain the settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, configuration options are available that allow the suppression of data transmission to Facebook. The data subject may use these applications to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

9. Data protection provisions regarding Google Analytics (with anonymization)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service.Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a person came (referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used for optimization of a website and for cost–benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of Google Analytics is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the application “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By means of this application, the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection is shortened by Google and anonymized when accessing our website from an EU Member State or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data to evaluate the use of our website, compile online reports about activities on our website, and provide other services related to website use.

Google Analytics places cookies on the data subject’s IT system. Cookies have been explained above. Through cookies, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each access to one of the individual pages of this website on which the Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s system automatically transmits data for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During this technical procedure, Google obtains personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and to calculate commissions.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America and stored there. Google may pass these personal data to third parties.

The data subject may prevent cookies through appropriate browser settings and may permanently refuse cookies. This setting also prevents Google Analytics from placing cookies. Cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time.

In addition, the data subject may object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and to the processing of these data by Google, and may prevent such collection by downloading and installing a browser add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . This add-on communicates via JavaScript that data and information about visits to websites may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installation is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s system is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, the add-on must be reinstalled. If the add-on is uninstalled or disabled, it can be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.htmlMore information about Google Analytics: https://www.google.com/analytics/

10. Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Instagram

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Instagram. Instagram is an audio-visual platform that allows users to share photos and videos and to share such data on other social networks.

The company operating Instagram is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each access to a page of this website on which an Instagram component (the “Insta” button) is integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s system automatically displays the Instagram component. During this procedure, Instagram learns which specific sub-page was visited.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which sub-pages are visited and associates this information with the data subject’s Instagram account. If the data subject clicks an Instagram button integrated into our website, Instagram assigns this information to the personal account and stores personal data.

Instagram receives information about visits to our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the time of access, regardless of whether the Instagram icon is clicked. If the data subject does not wish such transmission, he or she may prevent it by logging out before visiting our website.

More information and Instagram’s privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

11. Payment method: Data protection provisions for the use of PayPal as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal can also process online payments via credit card even if the user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, so no traditional account numbers are used. PayPal enables payments to third parties and also acts as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is: PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects PayPal as the payment method during the ordering process in our online store, we automatically transmit the data necessary for payment processing. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for processing and completing the payment.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal typically include: first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, and other data necessary for processing. Payment processing also requires personal data related to the order.

The transfer is intended for payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller transfers personal data to PayPal when there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for payment processing may be transferred by PayPal to credit agencies. This transfer is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

If necessary, PayPal may transfer personal data to affiliates, service providers, or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or to process data on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject may revoke consent to the processing of personal data by PayPal at any time. Revocation does not affect personal data whose processing, use, or transfer is required for contractual payment processing.

PayPal’s privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

12. Legal basis for processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific purpose. If processing is necessary for performing a contract to which the data subject is party (e.g., supplying goods or services), processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This also applies to processing necessary for pre-contractual measures, e.g., inquiries about products or services. If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g., tax obligations), processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing may be necessary to protect vital interests (Article 6(1)(d) GDPR), e.g., in emergencies. Finally, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, where processing is necessary for legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where overridden by the data subject’s interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Such legitimate interest may exist where the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

13. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the pursuit of our business activity for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

14. Period for which personal data are stored

The criteria used to determine storage periods are the statutory retention periods. After those periods expire, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, unless they are still necessary for contract performance or initiation.

15. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement

We clarify that providing personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions. In some cases, it may be necessary for concluding a contract that a data subject provides personal data which we subsequently process. For example, the data subject must provide personal data when entering into a contract with our company. Failure to provide these data may result in the inability to conclude the contract. Before providing personal data, the data subject may contact an employee who will explain whether the provision is legally or contractually required, whether there is an obligation to provide the data, and the consequences of not providing them.

16. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

17. Connection to BestPrice 360 Analytics

To improve our services, we have integrated the BestPrice 360 Analytics tool on this website in order to extract statistics and performance data from our online store’s participation in the price comparison platform www.bestprice.gr. BestPrice Analytics 360 allows the transfer to BestPrice.gr of anonymous data about user activity on this website (such as visits or online orders) in order to produce statistical results and improve marketing actions.In addition, only if you have given consent to store orders through the relevant option in your BestPrice.gr profile, each order you place online will automatically be stored in your BestPrice.gr profile. This feature serves exclusively to store basic order information (e.g., order code, products, etc.) without transmitting any personal data contained in your order. This feature is not related to order fulfillment, which is carried out solely by our company.
