Privacypolicy

Who is responsible

The data controller for personal data relating to this website and to Festival Katerinis is the Municipality of Katerini (katerini.gr).

What data we collect

This is an informational website. It has no forms, user accounts, tracking cookies or analytics tools. Fonts are served from the same server and are not loaded from third parties.

Like any website, the hosting provider records technical details of each visit (IP address, time, page, browser type) for security and operational reasons.

If you email us, we use the details you provide only to reply to you.

The map of the grounds comes from Google Maps and loads only if you press “Show map”. From that moment Google’s privacy policy applies, and Google may use cookies.

In the same way, videos and posts from Facebook and Instagram load only if you press “Play the video” or “See the post”; from that moment Meta’s privacy policy applies.

Photographs and video

The festival is a public event and is photographed and filmed. The website shows general views of the grounds and the audience; children’s faces in close-up shots are blurred. If you recognise yourself in a photograph and would like it removed, write to info@festivalkaterinis.gr.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict the processing of, object to the processing of, and port your data, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (dpa.gr).

Data Protection Officer

This Privacy Policy also describes how your personal data is used, shared and protected, the choices available to you regarding your personal data, and how you can contact us. For questions about this Privacy Policy, and for any matter relating to the processing of your data (a question or a request) and the exercise of your rights, you may contact the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of the Municipality of Katerini or send an email to dpo@katerini.gr

We respond to your requests without delay, and in any case within one (1) month of receiving them. If, however, your request is complex or you have submitted a large number of requests, we will inform you within that month if we need an extension of a further two (2) months within which we will reply.

If your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, the Municipality of Katerini may charge a reasonable fee, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the action requested, or may refuse to act on the request.
