Last updated: 30 September 2026
1. Who we are
This website is operated by Fraud Education Center (“we”, “us”), 2 Griva Digeni St., Agios Dimitrios, GR 17342, Attica, Greece.
We are the data controller for the personal data described below. For any question about your data or to exercise your rights, email cfe@fraudeducenter.com.
2. What we collect and why
| When | Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Course registration form | Name, email, phone, postal address, chosen course and format, ACFE membership status and number, how you heard about us, comments | To register you for the course, arrange your ACFE membership, exam application and course materials, and invoice you | Performance of a contract you request (Art. 6(1)(b)); our tax and accounting obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| ACFE membership question (non-members only) | Your answer on criminal convictions involving moral turpitude, and any explanation you give | The ACFE requires this answer for every membership application. We collect it only to pass it to the ACFE with your application and do not use it for anything else | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); processed under Art. 10 only as required for the ACFE membership application |
| Enquiry / “Book a free call” form | Name, email, topic, message | To answer your enquiry | Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) and steps you ask us to take before a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Any visit to the site | IP address, browser type, page requested, time (server logs); the IP address is also stored with a form submission | To keep the site secure, block spam and abuse | Our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
You do not have to give us your data, but without the fields marked as required we cannot register you or answer your enquiry.
3. Cookies and tracking
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or tracking tools. Fonts and images are served from our own server, so visiting the site does not send your data to third parties. That is why you see no cookie banner.
4. Who receives your data
- Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc. (ACFE), USA: registration details (and, for non-members, the membership question) so the ACFE can provide your membership, exam application and course materials. The ACFE acts as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. This transfer outside the EU is necessary to perform the contract you ask for (Art. 49(1)(b) GDPR). If you tick the ACFE marketing box, the ACFE will also send you information about its offerings; you can withdraw that at any time from your ACFE communication preferences.
- Hostinger International Ltd: hosts this website and the server that stores form submissions (processor).
- Google Ireland Ltd (Google Workspace): our email provider, which carries our replies and form notifications (processor).
- Our accountant and tax authorities, where the law requires it (invoices).
We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
5. How long we keep it
- Registrations: for as long as Greek tax and accounting law requires us to keep records of the transaction (currently in general five years from the end of the relevant tax year), then deleted.
- Enquiries: deleted automatically 24 months after we receive them, unless they lead to a registration.
- Server logs: deleted automatically after 14 days.
6. Your rights
You have the right to access your data, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw any consent you gave at any time (this does not affect processing already carried out). Email cfe@fraudeducenter.com and we will reply within one month.
If you believe we have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (Αρχή Προστασίας Δεδομένων Προσωπικού Χαρακτήρα), Kifisias 1–3, 115 23 Athens, www.dpa.gr.
7. Security
The site is served only over encrypted HTTPS. Form submissions are stored on our own server with access restricted to us, and are never published.
8. Changes
We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The date at the top shows the latest version.
