9 What Are The Purposes & The Legal Basis of Data Processing
The processing of personal data is based on one of the "legal grounds", as referred to in Article 6 of the Regulation (or Article 9 for specific data categories). The legal grounds the collection and processing of personal data are mainly based on are in most of the cases: a) the consent, b) the compliance in performing our contractual obligations, c) compliance with our legal and statutory obligations, and d) the safeguarding our legitimate interests. For special categories of personal data, i) the explicit consent, ii) the performance of obligations and iii) the exercise of specific rights of the controller or data subject in the field of labour law and social security / social protection law and for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment. The legal basis, on which the processing of your personal data is based, is as follows for each processing purpose:
Consent: When you contact us, interested in our products and services, in cases where you assign us to perform work on your behalf with Services or Authorities, when you are interested in employment, to inform you about our products and services in the context of promotional activities, when you visit our infrastructure and in case of a CCTV system informing you on the recording, when you visit our accounts on social media for our promotion purposes or through your wireless connection to our networks .
Compliance in performing our contractual obligations: When you are our customer for our service to you and fulfilment of our agreement, when you are our employee, partner or supplier for the signing and compliance with the contractual terms, or in cases where we contact you within the framework of the agreement.

Safeguarding our legitimate interests: for the improvement of our services, for our payment or payment of our obligations, for evaluations of persons and situations.
Informing our staff about the legal basis for processing is implemented internally.
10 Date Retention Period
We store personal data for as long as required by the respective processing purpose and any other permitted linked purpose. The data collected on the basis of contractual and legal obligations are kept after the expiration of the contractual and legal obligations as provided by the respective institutional framework or for as long as the guarantees are in force.
Data on offers that do not lead to an agreement are kept for three years.
The CCTV recording data is stored for 15 days, while cookies are stored for 2 years although as you can see in the relevant policy you can select your preference through the browser.
Data that may be required for our legitimate interests as a controller is kept until the reason for compliance ceases.
Especially for the data that we process based on your consent (e.g. for marketing purposes), these are kept under this consent until the consent is revoked.
Information that is no longer needed is securely destroyed or is made anonymous. We restrict access to your data to persons who need to use it for that particular purpose.
11 How Do We Ensure the Security of Personal Data

We follow international standards and practices to ensure the security of our networks. We ensure that your personal data is processed securely and legally, in compliance with policies and the development and implementation of procedures. For example, the following security measures are taken to protect personal data against unauthorized use, or any other form of unauthorized processing:
• Our facilities are safe, taking reasonable measures to the best extent possible.
• Access to personal data is limited to a certain number of authorized persons, for the specific purposes and the necessary data transfer is done through secure procedures.
• Our staff is bound by confidentiality rules, having classified and limited access only to the necessary data.
• In special data categories, there is only authorized electronic access. Furthermore, printed materials are kept in locked cabinets where only authorized persons have access.

• In the computer systems used for the processing of personal data, all technical measures are applied to the best possible extent, in order to prevent unauthorized access or other processing.
In addition, access to these IT systems is continuously monitored in order to identify and prevent illegal use at an early stage. Although data transfer via the Internet or a website cannot be safeguarded by cyberattacks, we work to maintain natural, electronic and procedural safety measures to protect your data.
Some of the measures taken are not announced for obvious reasons.
