- GENERAL
We respect the right to data protection and privacy of all users of our website https://acropolis-residences.com/ (the Website). We handle the personal data of the Website’s users (the Users or you) in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (the GDPR) and the applicable data protection and privacy legislation in Greece, including Law 4624/2019 and Law 3471/2006. This Data Protection Notice (the Notice) explains in clear and plain language how we collect and protect your personal data whether you are browsing our Website, contacting our team, or purchasing one of our residences.
- WHO IS THE CONTROLLER OF YOUR DATA?
The controller of your personal data under the GDPR is “Pierre Constructions Single-Member Société Anonyme” (the Company or Pierre or we), having its registered seat at Dafni-Imittos, 2-4 Ilioupoleos St., Athens, P.C. 17237 (email: info@acropolis-residences.com, tel: +30 210 32 25 888). As the controller, Pierre is responsible for ensuring your personal data is processed in full compliance with applicable laws.
- HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR DATA? ON WHAT LEGAL GROUNDS DO WE USE IT?
We only use your personal data when we have a specific purpose and a valid legal basis to do so, as follows:
- Inquiries about a residence (“Form of Interest”)
If you use the “Form of Interest” on our Website, we collect identification and contact data (e.g., full name, landline or mobile phone number, email address) , and the residence you are interested in. We need this data to identify you and communicate with you directly or via our partners to respond to your inquiry. If the required fields are not completed, we will be unable to process your request. The legal basis for processing your data for this purpose is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (the processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with us).
- Reservations and purchases of residences
If you decide to reserve or purchase a residence (for example, by signing a Reservation Memorandum or entering into a final sale and purchase agreement) we collect the data necessary to complete these transactions. This includes information required to prepare notarial acts and contractual documentation, as well as to comply with applicable legal obligations. Some of these obligations also require us to disclose your data to competent public authorities or registries (e.g., tax authorities or land registries). The legal bases for this data processing are the performance of a contract to which you are a party (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and Company’s compliance with its legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
In addition, following a transaction with you, we may use your contact details to send you marketing communications regarding our residences or related services, based on our legitimate interest in promoting our business (Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR, Article 11 (3) Law 3471/2006). A balancing test has been carried out to ensure this interest does not override your rights and you may request more information about this assessment at any time. As mentioned in Section 8. below (“WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR DATA?”) you have the right to object to these communications at any time, by following the instructions in our messages.
3.3. Opt-in for marketing communications
When you opt in to receive marketing communications from us via the “Form of Interest” feature on our Website (by ticking the relevant checkbox) we process your contact details to send you information about our residences and services for promotional purposes. We process this information based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in our communications or by contacting us directly.
3.4. Information collected automatically
When you visit our Website, certain information is automatically collected and recorded in log files. This may include information about your device and browser, your network connection, and your IP address. Even if this information may be considered personal data under applicable laws, it generally does not allow us to directly identify you. Temporary storage of your IP address is necessary to deliver the Website to your device. We use this data to ensure proper Website functionality, maintain security and availability, and protect information against accidental or unlawful access. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in maintaining and securing the Website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). A balancing test has been carried out to ensure this interest does not override your rights and you may request more information about this assessment at any time.

- WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH?
To achieve the purposes described in this Notice, we share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:
- Authorized personnel of the Company who need access to your data to process or respond to your inquiries or handle potential transactions;
- Service providers and partners of the Company, who need access to your data to provide us with their services, in particular our website hosting provider (swissns GmbH, based in Switzerland) and our brokerage services provider (Engel & Völkers, based in Greece);
- Professional advisors, such as legal or financial advisors, where necessary for the preparation of contracts in the context of transactions or other legal or financial issues; and
- Competent authorities and public registries (e.g., tax authorities and land registries), where required for Company’s compliance with its legal obligations.
- FOR HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?
We retain your personal data only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. In particular:
(a) Inquiries and communications (see 3.1. above): Data from your “Form of Interest” is kept until the end of the construction of the property of interest. This allows us to manage ongoing communications with prospective buyers, maintain waiting lists and support staged sales during construction, unless you request the deletion of your data earlier. If our communication leads to a reservation or contract, the data will be further retained for as long as required under applicable laws. When you opt-in for marketing communications through the “Form of Interest” (see 3.3. above), your contact details for marketing purposes will be retained until you withdraw your consent. We may ask you to renew your consent at appropriate intervals. (b) Contractual and transactional data (see 3.2. above): If you proceed with a reservation or purchase of residency, we retain your data for as long as required under applicable laws. Copies of the sale documentation may be retained for an extended period beyond statutory requirements to serve as evidence of the transaction. Your contact details for marketing purposes will be retained until you object to receiving them or for a maximum of 2 years following the transaction, whichever comes first. Once you opt out, your details will no longer be used for marketing purposes.
(c) Automatically collected data (see 3.4. above): Data recorded in log files is retained for six (6) months for security monitoring, unless a security incident requires a longer retention period for investigation purposes.
The above data retention periods or criteria apply unless longer retention is required in connection with legal claims or proceedings involving such data.
- WHERE DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
Our Website’s hosting provider swissns GmbH is based in Switzerland. Consequently, personal data collected through our Website is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Such data transfers are fully compliant with the GDPR as Switzerland has been officially recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection (Adequacy Decision available here). This ensures that your personal information is subject to a level of protection essentially equivalent to that within the European Union.
- LINKING TO THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
Our Website includes (or may include in the future) links, hyperlinks, banners or tabs by clicking on which you will be directed to third party sites. Please advise the data protection/privacy notices of these sites, as the Company is not responsible for the processing of personal data carried out by these sites.
- WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR DATA?
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access – to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of such data and information about the processing (Article 15 GDPR);
- Right to rectification – to request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data (Article 16 GDPR);
- Right to erasure – to request deletion of your data where, for example, it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where there is no overriding legal ground for its continued processing (Article 17 GDPR);
- Right to restriction of processing – to request limitation of processing in certain cases (Article 18 GDPR);
- Right to data portability – to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller, where the processing is based on your consent or on the performance of the contract and carried out by automated means (Article 20 GDPR).
- Right to withdraw your consent – where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal (Article 7(3) GDPR).
You can object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation at any time to data processing based on our legitimate interests (Article 21 GDPR).
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making.
These rights may be subject to limitations under applicable law. This means that in certain circumstances, where permitted by law (for example to protect the rights of others or to comply with legal obligations), we may not be able to fully satisfy your request.
You may exercise your rights in principle free of charge by contacting us at: info@acropolis-residences.com. However, if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, the Company may charge you a reasonable fee in accordance with the GDPR.
Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The competent supervisory authority in Greece is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).
