7. Use of Our Website Features

In addition to an informative use of our website, we offer various services that can be used based on your interests. To do this, you must usually provide additional personal data that we will then use to provide the respective service. If extra voluntary details could be provided, these will be marked accordingly.

When you contact us via email or via the contact form, we will store your email address and, if you have provided them, your name and phone number in order to answer your question

8. Consent and Limits to Use

When entering personal or business data (email address, names, addresses), the disclosure of your data is entirely voluntary. By entering this data, you indicate your consent that the entered data can be collected, processed, or used for the purposes of establishing contact, processing contracts, for advertising, or for the protection of our own legitimate business interests with regard to advising and supporting our customers and prospective customers.

All requests and inquiries for information or objections for data processing should be sent by email to info@villa-afrodita.com or to the address specified in Point 13.

11. Integration of Third Party Services

It is possible that third party content will be integrated from other websites within this website, such as videos from YouTube, Vimeo, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics. This always presupposes that the providers of such content (hereinafter referred to as the “third-party provider”) detect the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of each user. The IP address is therefore necessary to present this content. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP addresses solely to deliver the content. However, we have no control over whether the third-party providers save the IP addresses for statistical purposes, for example. We inform users about this insofar as this is known to us.

We are always careful that the European standard for data protection is maintained in order to effectively protect your data.

12. Additional Information

Your trust is important to us. That is why we are always available to talk with you at any time and answer any questions concerning how your data is processed. If you have any questions that could not be answered by this privacy policy or if you wish to receive more in depth information about any topic within it, please contact us at: info@villa-afrodita.com.
