Privacy policy

xe.gr respects the privacy and personal data of each visitor. Each time you use any of the xe.gr websites or applications («www.xe.gr», «my.xe.gr», «pro2.xe.gr» και «support.xe.gr» as well as the applications for mobile phones or tablets on iOS, Android and Windows Phone - collectively referred to as xe), you commit that you have carefully read this document, which we will call for brevity "Privacy Policy", and that you have consented to it. In some cases you will be prompt to consent to "Privacy Policy" at areas of interest such as areas of personal data collection.


Below we will clearly explain the areas, processes and purpose of collecting your personal data, how we process it, how we protect it and which are your rights.

1. Where we collect your data



We collect your personal information only with your written consent. xe.gr does not share this information with third parties.

The areas in which your information is collected are:

Upon signing up, as a user or customer, for the use of our free of charge or paid services.

Upon subscription for receiving our newsletters or informative emails.

Upon contacting our call center for the purpose of placing an ad on xe.gr.

Upon contacting our support department (support.xe.gr or our call center) to receive assistance.

Upon requesting to entrust your property to an agent, sending CVs or requesting to assign your property or vehicle search to a professional, using the form found in the respective category.

2. Which data you provide us with



In accordance with the Terms of Use, we will ask you to provide us with an email address for signing up, which will need to be verified.

If you wish to place an ad, we will additionally ask you to provide us with a contact phone number, which also needs to be verified in order to confirm that it belongs to you.

You will probably be asked to provide us additional details such as VAT number and address in case you request an invoice or, in case of specific listings, confirmation of your professional status. At any time you may request to have your details deleted.

Optionally, you may provide us with information such as your name, age, gender, occupation, and the area in which you live, which we will use to provide you with updates and promotions from xe.gr and/or its partners that may be of interest to you. You may request to have your information deleted at any time.

Your age will also be requested if you attempt to access sensitive adult content. In order for you to use certain map services, we will ask you to enable the location tracking service, which will allow us to obtain information about your current location. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Finally, if you wish, you can sign up using your Facebook account. Apart from your Facebook email address, which we will receive and use in order to set up your account in our systems, we do not collect any other data from your Facebook account. Facebook will also request your confirmation for this action. You can therefore use your Facebook account to quickly connect to xe.gr.

3. How we use your data



We use them in order to be able:

to contact you by sending you automated messages regarding possible issues related to your account (e.g. ad expiration, reset your password, etc.).You will be receiving these messages as long as you have an active account with us since they are considered essential for the smooth functioning of the systems and therefore cannot be deactivated.

to send you informative messages, via email and / or sms, with offers from xe.gr and / or our partners. We also use them to send you news, product updates or topics of your interest. You may opt out of receiving these messages at any time.

to send you Notification Alerts that you have activated yourself and that relate to searches you have saved and are of interest to you. The information we keep about your saved searches is the filters you have selected. You can change their frequency or stop receiving them whenever you wish.
