Especially regarding the personal data transferred to Intrum REO by Piraeus Bank, Intrum Hellas A.E.D.A.D.P., or Real Estate Operating Companies, as explained above, the lawfulness of the transfer of your personal data is based on the servicing of the contractual relationship and the lawful management of the property portfolio by Intrum REO, as carried out to fulfill the purposes of the respective agreements entered into.

In the case of judicial disputes, your personal data will be retained until the conclusion of the pending litigation, even if the above-mentioned period of twenty (20) years is exceeded. If judicial actions are ongoing, the retention period is extended beyond twenty years, until the issuance of a final court decision.
