If you disagree, you should leave the site and refrain from using its services and content.
This privacy policy may change periodically according to legal regulations or industry developments. We will not explicitly notify our clients or website users of these changes.

- EU Data Protection Directive 1995 (DPD)
- EU General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR)
Personal Information Collected by This Website and Why We Collect It
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
Personal Data
Visitors can browse the online store thegreenlight.gr without providing any personal information. We will only require personal data (your email, a username, and a password) when you place an order for services or products.
Information for Purchasing Services and Products:
The necessary details for every transaction include your full name, a landline phone number, address (street, city, postal code), and type of document (receipt, invoice). Additionally, we may ask for optional information such as a mobile phone number (in case we need to contact you directly), fax number, and profession.
Invoice Data
If you choose to request an invoice, we will need your company name, tax ID (VAT number), and registered office address.
IP Addresses
The IP address through which your computer accesses the Internet and subsequently thegreenlight.gr is used solely for gathering statistical data and ensuring transaction security.
Website Traffic Monitoring
Like most websites, this one uses Google Analytics (GA) to monitor user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, understand how they find and use our pages, and track their navigation through the site. While GA records data such as your location, device, web browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also logs your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not grant us access to this information. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor compliant with European law.
Contact Forms and Email Links
If you choose to contact us using a contact form or email link, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transmitted to any third-party data processors. Instead, the data will be sent to us via email using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL), meaning email content is encrypted before being sent over the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local devices.
Newsletters, Marketing Emails, and Communication
Users can opt to subscribe to the marketing emails of thegreenlight.gr, which the company sends via the MailChimp platform. Subscription can occur: a. when ordering a service from thegreenlight.gr, b. when creating an account on thegreenlight.gr, c. through the subscription field at the bottom of each page of the site, d. from the thegreenlight.gr Facebook page.
During subscription, we collect only the email provided by the user, which is stored exclusively on MailChimp (and no other platform), for the purpose of sending promotional emails regarding Thegreenlight’s offers and news. The user’s email remains on MailChimp’s platform until they choose to unsubscribe, which can be done via any received email or by sending a request to info@thegreenlight.gr.
General Terms of Personal Data Protection
The company ensures the confidentiality of your personal information and will not disclose it to any third party (natural or legal person) unless required by law and only to the relevant authorities. The company maintains records with personal information provided by the visitor/user solely for communication, financial, and tax purposes.
The visitor/user can contact the relevant department to confirm the existence of their personal file, request its correction, change, or deletion.
The company, especially the marketing department, may process part or all of the data you have submitted for statistical, financial, or service improvement purposes.
When visiting the pages of thegreenlight.gr and ordering products or services, or to enable communication with you for new products and services, we may ask for details concerning you (name, profession, email, etc.).
If you are under 18, you MUST obtain parental consent before using the services of this website.
