14.Links to third party Websites

Through this Website we will provide links to other websites that we consider of interest to our visitors, so the Website may include add-ons, applications, hyperlinks or links that allow access to websites of third parties other than LINKART, and which are therefore not operated by LINKART. Although we aim to ensure that such websites maintain the highest standards, clicking on such links or enabling such connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.

However, due to the very nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee the privacy standards of websites we provide the link from or be responsible for the content of other sites that are not owned by us, so this Privacy Policy will not apply to any linked site that is not owned by LINKART. The owners of these websites will have their own data protection policies, being themselves, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices. When you leave our website, we recommend that you read the privacy notice of each website you visit so that you can direct all your concerns regarding any third party website to their relevant administrator.

15.Claims before the control authority

In the event that the User considers that there is a problem or infringement of the regulations in force in the way his or her personal data is being processed, and especially when he or she has not obtained satisfaction in the exercise of his or her rights, without prejudice to any other administrative remedy or legal action, he or she shall be entitled to effective judicial protection and to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the State in which he or she has his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. In the case of Greece, the User may exercise his/her right to complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority[Φ1]  as the supervisory authority, located at Kifisias 1-3, Athens, 11523.

II.APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

This Privacy Policy is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with Greek law. The Greek version of this Privacy Policy shall prevail over any translation into other languages, if any. The nullity of any of the provisions will have to be eliminated, leaving the remaining provisions in full force and effect.

In the absence of an amicable agreement between the parties, conflicts and disputes of any nature whatsoever, relating to the application and/or interpretation of this Agreement, shall be governed by the Greek Law and subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Athens, with express waiver of any other jurisdiction that may correspond to them.

III. ACCEPTANCE OF AND CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

It is necessary that the User has read and agrees with the conditions on the protection of personal data contained in this Privacy Policy, as well as accepts the processing of personal data so that the Data Controller can proceed in the same way, during the periods and for the purposes indicated.

LINKART reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy, according to its own criteria, or due to a legislative, jurisprudential or doctrinal change of the Hellenic Data Protection Agency. The changes or updates of this Privacy Policy will not be explicitly notified to the User. It is recommended that the User consult this page periodically to be aware of the latest changes or updates.

This Privacy Policy was updated to adapt to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data (RGPD) and to the Law 4624/2019.
