This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you visit our website, submit an enquiry through our contact form, or communicate with Corfu Dive Club.

• Your name
• Email address
• Telephone number, where provided
• Information contained in your enquiry or message
• Any other information you voluntarily provide

We only collect information that is reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, provide requested information, arrange a booking or deliver our services.

• Arrange and manage bookings
• Communicate with you regarding requested services
• Meet applicable legal, administrative or regulatory requirements

Information submitted through our contact form is used to respond to your enquiry and is not used for unrelated marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on the nature of your communication with us, personal data may be processed on one or more of the legal bases provided by the GDPR, including:

• Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract

4. Contact Form

When you submit our contact form, the information you enter is transmitted to Corfu Dive Club so that we can review and respond to your enquiry.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in the message unless it is necessary for your request.

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to newsletters or promotional communications.

5. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet applicable legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Enquiries that do not result in a booking or ongoing business relationship will not be retained longer than reasonably necessary.

6. Sharing of Personal Data

We may share personal information with service providers or professional advisers where necessary for the operation of our website, provision of requested services or compliance with legal obligations.

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, appropriate measures are taken where required by applicable data protection legislation.

We may also disclose information where required by law or by a competent public authority.

Under the GDPR, and subject to applicable conditions and limitations, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to certain processing
• Request data portability where applicable
• Withdraw your consent where processing is based on consent

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. In Greece, this is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA).

8. Cookies

This website uses only cookies that are strictly necessary for its proper and secure operation.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used for essential technical functionality, security, session management and other functions required for the website to operate correctly.

These cookies do not normally require user consent.

We do not currently use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling or personalised marketing.

If non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this policy and, where required, the website's cookie consent mechanism will be updated accordingly.

9. External Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including communication services such as WhatsApp.

If you choose to follow an external link or use a third-party service, that provider may process personal information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Corfu Dive Club is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
