In such case, you may revoke your consent at any time, by sending an email to the Firm’s DPO at: DataPrivacyOfficer@deloitte.gr, as it is clearly stated in the respective consent form. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Kindly note that your personal data collected during Deloitte events (pictures and/or videos) are processed only by authorized personnel through our Social Media Accounts (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube) and our Intranet site.

In all cases, we may be requested to disclose your personal data if required to do so by law, a regulator or during legal proceedings.

Your data will be communicated to these third parties after being appointed as data processors or recognized as autonomous data controllers and will be processed by collaborators and/or employees of Deloitte in the context of their respective functions and in accordance with the instructions given by Deloitte itself.


7. Are your data transferred abroad?

If necessary for the purposes stated above, the data collected may be transmitted or made accessible to other companies in the Deloitte Network, to entities that provide services to us and/or the Deloitte Network (e.g., vendors, suppliers), to competent authorities (e.g., courts, tax authorities, regulatory authorities) including those based in other countries, which may include countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Third parties to whom your personal data are transferred are bound by specific agreement and are required to keep your data securely.

In such cases, we guarantee that the transfer will take place in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V of the GDPR through the adoption of appropriate safeguards that ensure a level of data protection in accordance with the obligations to which we are legally bound, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, other applicable legal basis or based on a statutory exemption (e.g. if you have given your consent to the transfer, if the transfer is directly connected with the conclusion or performance of a contract with you or if the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims before a foreign authority). For further information about the third parties, how we work with them and their processing of your personal data, or for information about the adequate safeguards installed by us in respect of data transfers please send an e-mail to the DataPrivacyOfficer@deloitte.gr.

8. What is the data retention period, or if not possible, the criteria used to determine it?

We will hold your personal data on our systems for a period of two (2) years, commencing either from the provision of your personal information to us or from the completion of a Marketing & Communications activity, where applicable.

9. How do we protect and safeguard your personal data?

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, processed, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. These measures can include:

  • Education and training of relevant staff to ensure they are aware of our privacy and data protection obligations when processing personal data;
  • Administrative and technical controls to restrict access to personal data on a “need to know” basis;
  • Technical security measures including, but not limited to fire walls, encryption and anti-virus software;
  • Physical security measures.

In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any incident that may lead to a security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so. Third parties will only process your personal data on our instructions and only where they have agreed to treat the data confidentially and to keep it secure in compliance with the applicable law.

10. What are your rights and how can you exercise them?

In relation to the processing of your personal data, you have specific rights according to Art. 15- 22 of the GDPR:

  • Access: you can ask for confirmation as to whether or not a certain processing of data concerning you is in place, as well as further clarifications about the information referred to in this privacy notice;
  • Rectification: you can ask to rectify or supplement the data you have provided to us, if inaccurate;
  • Erasure: you can request that your data be deleted, if they are no longer necessary for our purposes, in case of withdrawal of consent or your opposition to the processing, in case of unlawful processing, or there is a legal obligation to erase them;
  • Restriction: you can request that your data be processed only for the purpose of storage, with the exclusion of other processing activities, for the period necessary for the correction of your data, in case of unlawful processing for which you oppose the cancellation, if you have to exercise your rights in court and the data stored by us may be useful to you and, finally, in the event of opposition to the processing and a review is in progress on the prevalence of our legitimate reasons over yours;
  • Object: you can object at any time to the processing of your data, unless there are our legitimate reasons to proceed with the processing that prevail over yours, for example for the exercise or our defence in court;
  • Withdrawal of consent: you may revoke your consent at any time, in all cases where consent is the legal basis for processing. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal.
  • Portability: you can ask to receive your data, or to have them transmitted to another Data Controller indicated by you, in a structured format, commonly used and readable by automatic device.
  • Automated individual decision-making, including profiling: you can request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

To exercise these rights, you can contact us at DataPrivacyOfficer@deloitte.gr .

The time limit for Deloitte Greece to address your request is 1 month, which may be extended up to 2 further months in cases of particular complexity.

We also inform you that you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority for the protection of personal data, which in Greece is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA), by following the instructions found on the HDPA’s website.

However, should you have a complaint or question, it is advisable to contact theFirm first, in order to try and solve the matter amicably.

We may modify or amend this Privacy Notice from time to time at our discretion and we will promptly inform you through traditional channels of communication (e.g. by publishing the new information on our website).
