In some cases, we may share your personal data with other UNIT SHIPPING’s branches or third parties, for example our business collaborators, Banks, forwarding companies, postal or Government Agencies (Customs), etc. in order to comply to your demands or to complete our legal transaction or to fulfill a legal obligation. UNIT SHIPPING’s policy is to contractually bind such third parties – suppliers so that they, in their turn, treat the furnished information the way we do, according to our Policy and the law.
Furthermore, UNIT SHIPPING may transmit personal data beyond geographic borders to our Agents or collaborators legally seated outside Greece. UNIT SHIPPING may also store personal data in a different jurisdiction than the one you belong to.
UNIT SHIPPING may reveal your personal data to third parties only: a) in order to comply with legal requirements such as laws, decrees, subpoenas, Court’s rulings, b) in special occasions as to respond to immediate danger for you or other parties, in order to protect our property or claim rights given by law. In any case, before revealing such data, we will try to inform you unless this action is forbidden by law or Court’s order.
In case that personal data are transferred to a third country (a country outside Europe), we use all the appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s standard data protection clauses.
INFORMATION SECURITY AND QUALITY
We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.
During the time that we keep and process your personal data, we have embodied all necessary procedures so that they are protected from unauthorized access, revelation, alteration or destruction.
More specifically:

Consequently, access to your data is only allowed to employees or suppliers that are fully aware of their responsibility to handle and protect your data with care, or severe legal (civil and criminal) charges shall be pressed upon them in case of fault.
DATA RETENTION PERIOD
UNIT SHIPPING will keep your data stored only for the period of time that they are necessary according to the reason for which they were collected, or, until their deletion has been requested, with the exception of specific cases when contractual obligations or the law requires otherwise.
Some categories of data are retained for longer than expected for the purpose of defending the company's rights and exercising its legitimate claims. Processing in such cases will take as long as it takes for the lapse of the claims, the irrevocable termination of judicial or administrative proceedings in which we may be involved or the completion of an out-of-court dispute resolution procedure between us.
Other cases of a longer retention period are cases of accident and security incident investigation.
The retention periods of personal data are reflected in the processing records of UNIT SHIPPING.
