This Privacy Policy explains how Terron Racing (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit terrongreece.com or contact us. We are committed to handling your data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Greek data protection law.

02What data we collect

Information you give us through the contact form

When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide, which may include:

• Full name
• Company or organisation
• Job title
• E-mail address
• Phone number
• Reason for contact and the content of your message
• Your consent confirmation

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, certain data is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and how you interact with the site. See section 06 on cookies and analytics.

03How we use your data and our legal basis

Under the GDPR we must have a lawful basis for processing your data. We use your data as follows:

• To respond to your enquiry submitted via the contact form: your consent, and our legitimate interest in replying to messages sent to us.
• To manage sponsorship, partnership and supplier relationships you initiate: legitimate interest and/or steps taken at your request prior to entering an agreement.
• To understand and improve site performance through analytics. We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, statistical information about how the site is used.

04How long we keep your data

We keep contact-form submissions only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry: until the enquiry is resolved, plus a buffer of approximately six months to cover any follow-up, after which they are deleted — unless a longer period is required for an ongoing partnership or by law. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics provider. After these periods, data is deleted or anonymised.

05Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the site and our communications, acting as our processors:

• Our website hosting provider, which stores the site and its data on servers located within the European Union.
• Google, for website analytics (Google Analytics). This may involve transferring data outside the EU under appropriate safeguards.

06Cookies and analytics

We use cookies to make the site work and to measure how it is used. We use Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated statistics about visits, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors navigate the site. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings at any time; blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. If you would prefer that we do not process your analytics data, contact us at the address below.

07Your rights under the GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request erasure of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
• Restrict or object to our processing
• Request portability of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out
• Lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@terrongreece.com.

08Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children. In Greece the age of digital consent is 15, and we do not knowingly collect personal data through this site from anyone under the age of 15 without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child under 15 has provided us with personal data through the site without such consent, please contact us and we will delete it.

09How we protect your data

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including a website firewall, secure (HTTPS) connections, and restricted access to submissions. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
