We do not share your personal data with any third parties others than our partners who provide the service(s) or product(s) you have ordered (i.e. tour organizers and operators).

Data security and location


We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

Our website, including the database on which we store your personal data, is being hosted on a server located in Greece, owned and operated by the company Forthnet SA.

Your rights and choices regarding your personal data


You have the right and the possibility to access and change your personal data any time by logging into your customer account at Keratours.gr and then opening the account settings window.
In your account settings you can:
- Change your personal contact details.
- Opt in or out from receiving newsletters from us.
- Close your customer account and have all your personal data deleted from our database (this is only possible if all services and products you have ordered from us in the past have been provided or delivered to you, and there are no other open orders of yours in our system).

Use of cookies


By entering and using our website, small pieces of information, so-called "cookies", are sent by the web server to your web browser, which enable the server to collect information from your browser.

Our website sets and uses the two main types of first-party cookies, persistent and session cookies.
If you tick the "remember me" checkbox when logging into your customer account at Keratours.gr, a persistent cookie that contains your login information is stored on your device and remains on it for a time period of one year or until you delete it manually from your browser or you revisit our website and log out from your customer account. You should not use the "remember me" option when you log into your Kera Tours customer account on an untrusted device (i.e. a public computer in an internet café).
A session cookie is temporary and only exists for the period you access the website for (or until the browser is closed after visiting our website). This particular type of cookie assists us by helping our website remember your selections and choices whilst visiting our website and therefore avoids you having to re-enter information. This type of cookie does not contain personal information and cannot be used to identify you.

We also use third-party cookies which are code parts set by a website different than the website you are currently browsing. This involves the transmission of cookies from third parties. For analysis and monitoring purposes, we use cookies from the third party service provider Statcounter, who retains and accesses the information on our website and provides useful statistics without collecting or monitoring personal information and data of a user. You can read the Privacy Policy for Statcounter here: https://statcounter.com/about/legal/.

We may update these policies to reflect changes to the website and customer feedback. Please regularly review these policies to be informed of how we are protecting your personal data.
