Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 27, 2024
1. What We Collect and Why
When you interact with our website, we may collect a few kinds of information:
a. Information you give us directly:
- Your name or nickname, and email address if you register or post a review
- Any content you choose to share — such as your written reviews, photos, or ratings
b. Information we collect automatically:
- Technical details like your IP address, browser type, and device info
- Analytics data (how long you stay, what pages you visit, etc.) — used only to understand how people use the site
We collect this data to make the platform function properly, keep it secure, and improve the user experience over time.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data for purposes such as:
- Displaying your reviews and managing your account (if you have one)
- Communicating with you when needed (e.g., confirming an action or responding to questions)
- Ensuring reviews comply with our posting rules
- Detecting spam, misuse, or fraudulent activity
- Meeting our legal obligations under Greek and EU law
We do not use your information for unrelated advertising or sell it to third parties.
3. Our Legal Grounds
We process data based on:
- Your consent (for example, when you sign up or submit a review)
- Our legitimate interest in maintaining a safe and reliable website
- Legal compliance when required by Greek or European authorities
4. How Long We Keep Data
We retain personal information only as long as necessary — typically while your account is active or your review remains public.
If you request deletion, we’ll remove your data unless we’re legally required to keep it longer (for moderation, security, or auditing reasons).
5. Cookies & Tracking
Like most sites, we use cookies to remember preferences and analyze visitor activity.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, but some site features may not function properly without them.
6. Who Can Access Your Information
We may share data only with trusted third parties who help us operate the site — for example, hosting providers or analytics tools.
They are required to handle your information securely and only for the purposes we specify.
We may also share data with Greek or EU authorities if legally compelled to do so.
7. Data Storage & Transfers
Your data is primarily stored within the European Union.
If any information is transferred outside the EU, we ensure that GDPR-approved safeguards (like standard contractual clauses) are in place to protect it.
8. Your Rights as a User
Under GDPR and Greek Law 4624/2019, you have the right to:
- Access a copy of your personal data
- Correct or delete your information
- Withdraw your consent at any time
- Request limits on how your data is used
- File a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) if you believe your rights were violated
To exercise your rights, email us.
9. Security Measures
We take privacy seriously. Our servers are protected with up-to-date encryption and security practices to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.
That said, no system is completely immune from risk — use caution when sharing personal information online.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect new laws or updates to our service.
When changes are made, the updated version will be posted here with a new “Last Updated” date.
