SPECIALITY INSURANCE

Privacy Policy

Effective 25 August 2026

Who We Are

Speciality Insurance is the trade name of MALAMA SPECIALITY INSURANCE INSURANCE AGENTS AND COORDINATORS OF INSURANCE AGENTS G.P. ("we", "us", "our"), a licensed insurance intermediary registered as an Insurance Agent & Coordinator (Special Registry No. 9400) with the Athens Chamber of Tradesmen, and supervised by the Bank of Greece.

Registered office: Eleftheriou Venizelou 59, Kallithea, Athens, Greece.

For the purposes of data protection law, we are the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

What Information We Collect

We collect personal data only when you choose to give it to us — we don't track visitors who don't submit a form. When you use our Contact, Request a Quote, Risk Assessment, or Become a Partner forms, we collect:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your phone number (optional on most forms)
  • The details you provide about your enquiry, coverage needs, business, or application

Our Chat Assistant

If you use the chat assistant available on our site, the messages you type are sent to Google's Gemini API to generate a response. We don't store your chat messages ourselves — they exist only for the duration of your browser session and are not saved to any database or reviewed by our team.

Google, however, applies its own terms to what you send them. Our assistant runs on Google's free (unpaid) Gemini API tier, and under Google's terms for that tier the content submitted to the API and the responses generated may be retained and used by Google to improve their products and services, including review by human reviewers. For that reason, please don't type policy numbers, claim details, health information, or other sensitive personal data into the chat box — use our contact form or call us instead, and we'll handle it through our normal channels.

Why We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit to respond to your enquiry, prepare and provide quotes, risk assessments, or partnership evaluations, and communicate with you about our insurance brokerage services.

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries you initiate, and, where you go on to become a client or partner, the steps necessary to enter into and perform a contract with you.

Who We Share It With

We use a small number of service providers to operate our website and respond to you. We don't sell your personal data to anyone.

  • Resend — delivers the email notification when you submit a form
  • Neon (via Vercel) — hosts the database where your submission is securely stored
  • Vercel — hosts our website and infrastructure
  • Google (Gemini API) — generates responses for our chat assistant, if you choose to use it

International Transfers

These providers — including Google, for our chat assistant — may process data on servers located outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Where that happens, we rely on their standard contractual clauses and other safeguards recognised under EU data protection law.

How Long We Keep It

We keep enquiry and application data for up to 24 months from your last contact with us, unless you become a client — in which case we retain your information for as long as required by applicable insurance-sector record-keeping obligations — or unless you ask us to delete it sooner (see "Your Rights" below).

Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Request erasure of your data
  • Restrict or object to how we use your data
  • Receive your data in a portable format

How to Complain

To exercise any of the rights above, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (Αρχή Προστασίας Δεδομένων Προσωπικού Χαρακτήρα) — the supervisory authority for data protection in Greece. This is a different body from the Bank of Greece, which supervises our conduct as an insurance intermediary, not data protection.

Cookies

We currently use no tracking, advertising, or analytics cookies. Our site uses Vercel Web Analytics, which collects anonymous, aggregate usage statistics without cookies or personal identifiers.

If we introduce a cookie-based tool in the future — for example, for more detailed analytics — we will update this policy and ask for your consent first, where required.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access-limited storage. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data appropriately.

Children's Privacy

Our services are directed at businesses and adults seeking insurance products. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date shown above reflects the latest version, and we'll reflect any material changes here.
