Applicable as of 1 March 2022

The company with the name ‘CREMATION SERVICES SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME’, trading as ‘CREM SERVICES SA’ (hereinafter “CREM SERVICES SA” or the “company”), with registered offices in Chalandri, Attica at 126, Pentelis Avenue, GR-15234, manages the personal data that concern you in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (hereinafter “GDPR”), Law 4624/2019 and other applicable personal data protection legislation.

“Personal data” means mean any information relating to natural persons (“data subjects”) who are identified or identifiable (hereinafter “Data” or “personal data”), while “controller” means any person who determines the purpose and manner of processing of personal data.

INTRODUCTION – CONTROLLER

This policy informs you on how CREM SERVICES SA collects and processes information that concern you as controller when the company provides customers with the live transmission (streaming) service of a farewell ceremony for a deceased person that you attend, so that the ceremony can be attended remotely by persons of the deceased person’s close family or friends who cannot attend in person for any reason. Such persons are indicated to the company by each of our customers to whom we provide cremation services (hereinafter “customers”).

Please note that attendance of the ceremony via live streaming by such persons constitutes processing of data by natural persons not falling within the scope of the GDPR, in the sense that it concerns processing that takes place solely in the context of the personal or domestic activity of third parties and is, therefore, not linked to any professional or commercial activity (Article 2(2)(c) GDPR).

Attendees who do not wish to undergo any processing of their data during the provision of the aforesaid may stand outside the camera’s image/audio recording range, which is clearly marked in the ceremony hall, and there are information signs concerning the processing via live streaming. 

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR DATA

We collect and process personal data that concern you during the live streaming of a farewell ceremony you attend when you enter the image/audio recording range of the camera used to provide the live streaming service.

WHICH DATA WE COLLECT

The data we collect from you includes:

  • your image,
  • your voice, if you speak, and any other personal data you may reveal, if you are in the audio recording range of the camera.

The company does not require the processing of personal data belonging to special categories (e.g. health data) in order to provide the live streaming service; however, if you voluntarily disclose such data during the ceremony, the processing will concern data that you have been manifestly disclosed as a data subject.

PURPOSE OF PROCESSING

The purpose of collecting/processing your data is:

  • to modernise the company’s services in order to respond to the new digital age, where technology makes it possible for more people to attend social events by removing obstacles such as health problems, distance, age-related self-restriction, etc.
  • to maintain a safe environment at our company’s premises for staff and attendees, especially in this era of the coronavirus pandemic, by enabling persons belonging to vulnerable groups or suffering from coronavirus to attend the ceremony as if present, without placing themselves or others at risk.
  • to meet the company’s contractual obligations towards its customers.
  • to satisfy the legitimate interests of third parties who are relatives of the deceased and wish to attend the ceremony but are unable to do so due to serious impediments.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

The legal basis for processing the personal data collected is that the processing is necessary for the purposes of:

a) the company’s legitimate interests, particularly in order to fulfil its contractual obligations towards its customers, to digitally modernise its services through the use of technological tools for the purpose of offering remote attendance of farewell ceremonies, to maintain a safe environment at the company’s premises for reasons pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic.
b) and the legitimate interests of third parties who are relatives of the deceased, to attend the farewell ceremonies of their loved ones via live streaming, because, despite their wish to attend in person, they are impeded by serious obstacles such as remoteness, financial reasons, health problems, transport difficulties, etc.

The company shall always balance your rights and interests to protect your data against the rights and interests of the company or third parties.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

The recipients of your data necessary to fulfil the above processing purposes, and within the context of the competences of each recipient, may be the competent employees of the company in the context of performing their duties, third-party service providers such as IT, Internet and technical support companies whose services are necessary for the performance of the company’s services, or state authorities. Finally, third parties who are relatives of deceased persons and who have been indicated to us by our customer in order to attend the ceremony remotely will be recipients.

It should be noted that, when accessing and processing personal data, the employees and agents of the company fully comply with the provisions of the GDPR as well as with other applicable data protection legislation. The company requires that its employees and associates take all the necessary technical and organisational measures to prevent the disclosure of the personal data they process, and have data management and processing procedures in place and implement them in a lawful manner and protect data in accordance with the GDPR. With regard to third parties who are relatives of deceased persons and attend ceremonies via live streaming, they have been informed that video recording/photography/audio recording of the ceremony even using with their own means of storage is prohibited.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSMISSION

We do not transfer your personal data to third countries. The data we collect is processed on servers located in the EU or the EEA. Where it is necessary to transmit data to a third country outside the EU, our company will take appropriate measures (guarantees), such as ensuring that the transfer takes place to a country that benefits from an adequacy decision or will apply standard contractual clauses so as to ensure an adequate level of data protection and lawfulness of data processing. For the operation of the ZOOM application and its privacy policy, please visit https://explore.zoom.us/en/privacy/.

RETENTION PERIOD

The personal data that concern you will be retained and processed by the company solely for the duration of the farewell ceremony during the live streaming. No image/audio of the ceremony is recorded and stored on storage media by the company, and no recording by third parties that attend remotely is permitted.

TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL PROTECTION MEASURES

The company, processors processing data on its behalf and performance agents/assistants implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, abuse, loss or destruction. Such measures include but are not limited to the use of software that meets strict security standards, network security measures, disabling the possibility of recording on the live streaming platform, careful selection of processors and check of compliance with the GDPR, clear marking of the camera’s image/audio recording range and provision of a distinctive space for those who do not wish to be viewed via live streaming, placement of information signs at the ceremony hall, etc.

 

MINORS

If minors are present at the premises, they must stand outside the camera’s image/audio recording range, unless their parents or guardians provide consent.
