We are committed to protecting your privacy in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and Greek Law 4624/2019.

2. Data We Collect & Why
2.1 Website Browsing
When you visit golocaltransfer.com, we automatically collect certain technical data through Google Analytics, including approximate geographical location, device type, browser, operating system, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from it.
2.2 Contact Form, Email & Customer Records
If you contact us via our contact form or directly at info@golocaltransfer.com, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any information you choose to include in your message. This data is used to respond to your enquiry.
We may retain your name, email address, and phone number in our customer records for the following purposes:
Service fulfilment: To manage your booking and communicate with you regarding your transfer or tour.
Legal compliance: Greek tax law requires us to maintain passenger records for accounting and reporting purposes. We are obliged to retain this data regardless of your preferences.
Marketing communications: If you have explicitly consented (via the relevant opt-in on our booking or contact form), we may occasionally contact you with promotional offers or updates about our services. You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting us at info@golocaltransfer.com.
2.3 Booking
When you make a booking through our website, we collect the following information:
- Full name of the lead passenger
- Full names of all additional passengers (if applicable)
- Email address
- Phone number
- Pickup and drop-off locations
- Flight/ferry details (if provided)
- Date and time of service
- Payment information (processed securely by our payment provider — we do not store card details)
This information is necessary to confirm and fulfil your booking.
3. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, we are required to identify a legal basis for each type of personal data we process. We process your data on the basis of performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) when handling your booking and managing your transfer or tour service.
When retaining passenger and transaction records as required by Greek tax law, we do so on the basis of a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)).
For responding to general enquiries and improving our website through analytics, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)).
Finally, where you have opted in to marketing communications or consented to non-essential cookies, we process your data on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a)).
Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis, you have the right to withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to that withdrawal.
4. How We Use Your Data
