CGSoft is committed to protecting the confidentiality of the information provided to it and complies with the applicable Data Protection legislation.

CGSoft, still, collects personal data in the context of providing professional services (see below for more information). As part of this fundamental obligation, CGSoft is committed to protecting and using appropriately the personal information (often referred to as “personal data” or “PII”) collected either online, through the professional services it provides, or through communication/cooperation with any third party. In general, our purpose is to collect only the personal data voluntarily provided by online visitors, so that we can provide them with information and/or services or information about business opportunities.

Please review this Statement to learn more about how we collect, store, use, transfer and protect the information/personal data we receive.

1. Collection and use of Personal Data

We receive your personal data if you choose to provide it — for example, if you contact us via email or subscribe to our services. In some cases, you may have previously provided your Personal Data to CGSoft (if, for example, you are a former employee of CGSoft). If you choose to register or log in to a CGSoft website using a third-party single sign-on service that authenticates you and links your social media login information (eg LinkedIn, Google or Twitter) to CGSoft, we collect any information or content needed for registration or login that you have given the social media provider permission to share with us, such as your name and email address. The collection of other information may depend on the privacy settings you have established with your social media provider, so please review the relevant service’s privacy statement or policy.

By registering and/or submitting your personal data to CGSoft, you also consent to the use of that data in accordance with this Statement. Your personal data is not used for other purposes, unless we obtain your permission, or unless this is required or permitted by law, or professional standards. For example, if you register on a CGSoft website and provide information about your preferences, we will use that information to personalize your user experience. When you register or log in using a third-party single sign-on service, we may identify you as the same user, regardless of the use of different devices, and personalize your user experience on any other CGSoft websites you visit. If you send us your Curriculum Vitae (CV) in order to apply online for a job at CGSoft, we will use the information you provide us to see if you are a match for CGSoft’s existing job opportunities.

In some cases, where you have registered for certain services, we may temporarily store your email address until we receive confirmation of the information you provided by email (by sending an email to the address you provided as part of your registration to confirm the registration request).

CGSoft, generally, only collects personal data that are necessary to fulfill your requests. When additional and optional information is sought, you will be notified at the time the data is collected.

CGSoft collects “sensitive” personal data only when such individuals voluntarily offer us such data, or when such data is required or permitted by law. Please do not provide sensitive data to CGSoft, unless you hereby consent to CGSoft’s use of such data for its legitimate business purposes, and unless you consent to the transfer and storage of this data to and in CGSoft databases. If you have questions about whether the provision of sensitive personal data to CGSoft is, or could be, necessary for certain purposes, please contact CGSoft at dataprivacy@cgsoft.gr.

1.1. Automatic collection of Personal Data

In some cases, CGSoft and its service providers use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to automatically collect certain categories of data when you visit us online, as well as through the electronic messages we may exchange. The collection of this data allows us to personalize your online experience, to improve the performance, usability and effectiveness of CGSoft’s online presence and to evaluate the effectiveness of the marketing activities of our services.

1.1.1 IP Addresses

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer every time you access the internet. It allows computers and network service computers (servers) to identify and communicate with each other. The IP addresses from which visitors appear to originate may be recorded for information technology security and systems diagnostics purposes. This data may also be used in aggregated form in order to perform an analysis of website trends and performance.

1.1.2 Cookies

Cookies may be placed on your computer or your internet-enabled device, each time you visit us online. This allows the website to remember your computer or device, and it serves a lot of purposes. On some of our websites, a warning box (banner) will appear which will require your consent to the collection of cookies. If you do not provide consent, your computer or internet-enabled device will not be monitored for activities related to the promotion of services. A secondary type of cookies, referred to as “user-input” cookies, may be required in order to ensure the necessary functionality. These cookies will not be blocked by using this banner. Your selection will be stored in a cookie and will be valid for a period of 90 days. If you wish to revoke your choice, you can do so by deleting your browser’s cookies. Although most browsers automatically accept cookies, you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser settings (an option often found in your browser’s Tools or Preferences menu). You can also delete cookies from your device at any time. However, you should be aware that if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to fully experience some of the features of our website. Additional information regarding the management of cookies can be found in the “Help” folder of your browser or through websites such as www.allaboutcookies.org. The following is a list of the types of cookies we use on our websites:

Other third-party tools and widgets may be used on our individual websites to provide additional functionality. Using these tools or widgets may install a cookie on your device to make their service easier to use, and to ensure that your activity is displayed correctly on our websites.

Cookies alone do not tell us your email address or identify you personally in any other way. In our analytics, we may receive identifying information including IP addresses, but only to determine the number of unique visitors to our websites and the geographic origin of visitors, and not to identify individual visitors.

1.1.3 Google Analytics

CGSoft uses Google Analytics. More information about how Google Analytics is used by CGSoft, can be found here: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html. In order to provide website visitors with more choices about how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about visiting the website should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or to other web analytics services.

1.1.4 Web beacons

A web beacon is a small image file on a web page that can be used to collect certain data from your computer, such as IP addresses, the time the web page content was viewed, the type of browser, and the existence of cookies previously placed by the same network service computer (server). CGSoft uses web beacons only in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. CGSoft or its service providers may use web beacons to track the effectiveness of third party websites that provide us with recruitment or advertising services or to collect aggregate visitor statistics and manage cookies. You have the option to disable some web beacons by rejecting the relevant cookies. The web beacon will still be able to record an anonymous visit from your IP address, but the information from the cookies will not be recorded.

1.1.5 Location-Based Tools

This location data is collected for the purpose of providing you with information about services that we believe may be of interest to you based on your geographic location, as well as improving our products and services that we provide based on geographic location.

1.2. Social Network Applications and Widgets

CGSoft websites may include functionality to enable you to share via third party social networking applications such as the Facebook Like button and Twitter widget. These social networking applications may collect and use information about your use of CGSoft websites (see above for details on ‘Social Networks’ cookies). Any personal information you provide through such social media, may be collected and used by other members of that social media, and such exchanges are governed by the privacy policies of the companies providing the application. We have no control over or responsibility for these companies or their use of your information.

In addition, CGSoft websites may host blogs, forums, crowd-sourcing and other applications or services (collectively referred to as “social media features”). The purpose of social media functions is to facilitate the sharing of information and content. Any personal information you provide on any CGSoft social media feature may be disclosed to other users of that social media feature (unless otherwise stated at the point of collection), over whom we may have limited or no control.

1.3. Children

CGSoft understands the importance of protecting children’s personal data, especially in an online environment. In particular, our websites are neither intentionally designed nor directed at children under the age of 13. It is our policy to never collect or knowingly hold data about any person under the age of 13.

2. Disclosure and transfer of Personal Data

We do not share personal data with third parties not affiliated with us, unless this is required for our legitimate business purposes and business needs, in order to respond to your requests and/or as required or permitted by law. In some cases, CGSoft may share your personal data with various external companies or service providers or vendors working on our behalf, in order to respond to your requests, after we have informed you in advance and obtained your consent. Also, CGSoft may transfer certain personal data across geographical borders to other CGSoft member companies or external companies working with us or on our behalf. CGSoft may also store personal data in a jurisdiction other than where you are located. By providing personal data online, visitors consent to such transfer and/or storage of their personal data abroad. CGSoft may also disclose personal data in connection with the sale, assignment or other transfer of the business of the website to which the data relates, in order to respond to government or law enforcement requests or when required to do so by the provisions of applicable legislation, court decisions or statutory regulations. Such disclosures may also be required for privacy or security audits and/or to investigate or respond to complaints or security threats. CGSoft does not sell personal data to any third parties. Also, CGSoft will not pass on the personal data you provide to any third parties.

3. Choices

Generally, you are not required to submit personal data to CGSoft online, but we may ask you to provide certain personal data in order to receive additional information about our services and events. CGSoft may also seek your permission for certain uses of your personal data and you may either consent to or decline such uses. If you wish to receive specific services or communications, such as an electronic newsletter, you will be able to unsubscribe from the relevant list of recipients at any time by following the instructions contained in each communication. If you decide to unsubscribe from a service or communication, we will try to delete your data as soon as possible, although we may need some time and/or information before we can process your request. As mentioned above in the “Cookies” section, if you wish to avoid being tracked by cookies as you browse our websites, you can set your browser to reject all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. Note, however, that some parts of our websites may not function properly if you choose to decline cookies.

4. Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold of you (the term “Personal Data” as defined in the current Greek legislation on the protection of personal data), as well as to review it and generally to exercise any right provided by legislation on the protection of personal data. If you wish to submit a request or if you are concerned about any of the above, please contact us at dataprivacy@cgsoft.gr

5. Data security and integrity

CGSoft implements reasonable technical and organizational security policies and procedures to protect personal data and information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. In addition, we try to ensure that access to your personal data is limited to those who have a need to know it. People who have access to the data are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of that data. Please be aware that the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure. Although we make every effort to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website. After receiving your information, we will implement strict security procedures and features to try to prevent unauthorized access. We make every reasonable effort to keep the personal data we collect from you only for as long as we need the data for the purpose for which it was collected or until it is deleted (whichever is sooner), unless we continue to we observe them according to the provisions of the current legislation.

6. Links to other websites

CGSoft websites may contain links to other websites, including websites maintained by other companies and governed by other privacy statements whose content may differ from this Privacy Statement. Please read the privacy policy of each website you visit before submitting any personal data to that website. Although we strive to provide links only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of other sites.

7. Provision of professional services

CGSoft receives personal data in the course of providing professional services – typically in the course of providing services to individuals, employers, businesses with natural person clients and in the public sector. Our relationships with customers are governed by our engagement letters and general terms of business, including the use of personal data we receive. CGSoft provides services of various types and its role may not always be clear to data subjects. However, CGSoft complies with its obligations deriving from the applicable Greek and European legislation for the protection of personal data and the applicable regulatory directives related to the management of personal data.
