It is stressed that the assignment above of servicing does not affect the position of the debtors or other persons involved, nor the repayment terms of the debts. The present aims to inform the natural persons connected with the above claims in any capacity (such as borrowers, guarantors, third-party guarantors, special or universal successors of the above (heirs), partners of legal entities, members of collective management bodies of legal entities or their legal representatives, shareholders and beneficial owners of legal persons or entities, proxies, representatives, employees/partners, family members, lawyers or procedural representatives of the above, notaries, bailiffs, etc. referred to as the “Data Subjects”) that, as a result of the above change of claims servicer, their personal data will be transmitted by Quant to Intrum Hellas, by order on behalf of Alpheus Hellas 2 DAC, to service the above claims.

As of the assignment of the servicing of the Earth portfolio to Intrum Hellas, both the latter and Intrum Hellas 2 DAC, the legal beneficiary of the claims, shall each act as an Independent Processor, as defined in the Regulation, concerning the processing of personal data and shall determine independently from each other the purposes of the processing with the responsibilities and powers of each being reflected in this Notice.

The period of retention and processing of personal data shall be the strictly necessary one, i.e. they will be retained only for the period until full payment or otherwise lawful repayment of the acquired/serviced claims unless a longer retention period is imposed by a legal obligation or permitted as part of judicial proceedings. In the context of servicing the claims, third parties, such as debtor notification companies established under Law 3758/2009, legally registered in the Registry kept by the General Secretariat for Consumers of the Ministry of Development, lawyers, bailiffs, notaries, mortgagees and employees of land registry offices, judges and court clerks, providers of postal or courier services who have entered into an agreement with Intrum Hellas for the provision of their services to it, may become recipients of the personal data at the disposal of Intrum Hellas.
