- It is our fundamental principle and commitment that we do not share your information with third parties for their independent business or other purposes. However, we may share your data when required and to the extent necessary, adhering to the principle of proportionality, with: (a) companies or professionals we collaborate with, who act as independent “data controllers” responsible for the lawful processing of personal data as per their own privacy policies, such as the tour operator/booking system through which you made your reservation (e.g., for charge verification, reservation confirmation), our contracted security company responsible for safeguarding our hotel premises for your and our safety (e.g., confirming the arrival of a person with a scheduled reservation), courier services, taxi service providers, technology service providers (e.g., website hosting, email providers), the exchange company in the case of timeshare agreements, legal services-lawyers in the event of out-of-court or judicial claims, in which case your data may be used before a court to establish, exercise or support legal claims, our contracted insurance company solely in the event of an insurance risk, auditors, our suppliers (e.g., in case of issues related to our products/services); (b) Partner banks when required under circumstances or by law (e.g., random transaction audits, credit requests, refund cases); (c) Healthcare providers (doctors, hospitals, health centers, etc.), if necessary to protect your vital interests, i.e., your life and health, or to ensure public health; (d) Any public authority or legally supervised entity as required by law or to protect legal rights or public interest, including law enforcement, health authorities (e.g., EODY), financial crime units, Ombudsman institutions, consumer protection authorities, data protection authorities, judicial or prosecutorial authorities.

5. Data Retention Period
We retain your data for the duration required by law (especially in the hospitality and tax sectors) to fulfill our legal obligations, as well as for the period necessary for contract execution and for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims. Personal information essential for concluding or executing our contract is retained throughout the contract duration and for five years after its termination. In the event of claims, these data are kept until an irrevocable decision is issued and/or in the event of a settlement, for twenty years from the execution of the terms of the settlement, provided that there is an unfulfilled benefit. Visual data collected via CCTV is retained for the strictly necessary period and is automatically deleted after 15 days unless an incident occurs within this timeframe, in which case it is retained for up to one additional month to investigate the incident and initiate legal proceedings to protect our legitimate interests.
