We are the company operating under the name “Konstantinos Gkionis” and the trade name “Professional Information Guide”.
We fully respect the protection of individuals’ privacy and comply with the provisions of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. For this reason, we take every possible measure to protect the rights and freedoms relating to the protection of personal data and to ensure its security. We are the data controllers responsible for processing your personal data.

What types of data we process.
We try to minimise the data we hold and retain only the data that is strictly necessary for the purpose for which it is held. We store this data in individual files as well as on our computer systems. This is data that comes from you.
When you visit our website we use cookies. You can find out more about our cookie policy at the following link (LINK).
We process the following types of data: personal details such as gender, first name, last name, profession, business address, email address, CV, website details, Facebook page or other social media page details, business telephone number, and mobile phone number.
Why we process it, what the purpose of processing is, and how long we retain it.
We primarily process your data in order to fulfil our obligations under the contract between us for the provision of our services, which is, among others, the main legal basis for processing your data. This means we process your data to ensure we provide you with the best overall benefits for your promotion, to offer you personalised services, to keep you informed about our services, and to make appropriate adjustments.
If you do not provide us with the data mentioned above, we will not be able to fulfil our obligations in providing our services. We retain your data for as long as the contract between us is in force, although in certain cases we will retain your data for a period after the contract has expired. Some data retention periods are required by law. In any case, you retain the right to be forgotten, as described in detail below.
Whether we share it with anyone else.
Employees of our company have access only to the data relating to their duties. Our relationship with them is governed by binding rules regarding their responsibility for managing such data.
We may share your information with third-party service providers and external partners for the purpose of implementing and executing the agreement between us. When we use third-party service providers, we disclose only the information necessary for the provision of their services, and they are contractually bound to keep your information safe and not to use it except in accordance with our specific instructions. We have entered into a data processing agreement with such third parties to ensure that your data will not be compromised. Third parties are required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of your data.
Where we provide links to websites of other organisations, this Privacy Policy does not cover how that organisation processes your personal data. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of the websites you visit.
We do not transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA).
Automated decision-making
Automated decision-making means making a decision without human involvement, e.g. using computerised filtering equipment. No decision will be made about you solely on the basis of automated decision-making (where a decision is made using an electronic system without human involvement) that has a significant impact on you.
How we keep your personal data safe
We are aware of the requirement to protect data from accidental loss or disclosure, destruction and breach. We implement procedures to protect against the above. We have adopted the necessary technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal data we collect, use and retain, and to prevent its alteration, loss, unauthorised processing or access, taking into account the level of technology, the nature of the data stored and the risks to which it is exposed due to human action or physical deterioration or the physical environment (e.g. conducting data security self-audits).
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that allows you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. We ask that you do not share your password with third parties.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
Right of access to data You have the right to request copies of your personal data. This right always applies. There are some exceptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process. If we hold your personal data, you may make an “access request” to us and we will provide you with: a description of it, the reason why we hold it, information about the range of persons to whom it may be disclosed, and a copy of the data — unless an exemption from the disclosure requirements applies.
If you wish to make an “access request”, please submit it in writing to info@info71.com and clearly state it as a “data access request”.
Right to stop marketing messages You always have the right to stop marketing messages. We will usually include an unsubscribe button in every marketing email. If you wish to unsubscribe, simply click the unsubscribe button and we will respond to this request promptly. Alternatively, you can update your marketing preferences by contacting us at any time.
Right to be forgotten If we hold personal data about you that is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and cannot otherwise be justified, you have the right to request that we delete the data in certain circumstances.
Right to rectification You have the right to ask us to correct information you believe to be inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you consider to be incomplete. This right always applies.
Right to restriction of processing You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information in certain circumstances.
Right to data portability This applies only to information you have provided to us. You have the right to request that we transfer the information you have provided to us to another party, or that we provide it directly to you. This right applies only if we are processing information based on your consent or in connection with, or in negotiations for, a contract, and the processing is automated. We will action this request, usually by sending the data in a CSV file.
Right to lodge a complaint If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), at www.ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
