2. Data Processed by This Website

2.1 Website Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, with measurement ID G-NL72EG0RZC, to understand how the website is used and to improve its content and performance.

Google Analytics is activated only after the visitor has consented to statistical cookies through the cookie banner. When activated, it may process information such as:

  • the number of users and sessions;
  • approximate geographical location;
  • browser and device information;
  • interactions with the website;
  • identifiers stored in the cookies _ga and _ga_NL72EG0RZC.

The legal basis for this processing is the visitor’s consent. Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the website’s cookie settings.

Google processes Analytics data on behalf of the data controller. Further information is available in the Google Privacy Policy and in Google’s information on safeguarding Analytics data.

2.2 Self-Hosted Statistics

The website also uses Burst Statistics, which operates within the website’s own hosting environment. No Burst cookie was detected in the current configuration. The service is used to obtain aggregated information about website use without loading external resources for this purpose.

2.3 Consent Preferences

The website uses Complianz cookies to record and apply each visitor’s privacy choices:

  • cmplz_banner-status
  • cmplz_functional
  • cmplz_preferences
  • cmplz_statistics
  • cmplz_marketing
  • cmplz_consented_services
  • cmplz_policy_id

These cookies are necessary for the operation of the consent mechanism. They record the visitor’s selections and do not activate Google Analytics unless consent for statistics has been provided.

Further information about cookies, their purposes and their duration is available in the website’s Cookie Policy.

2.4 Communication by Email

The website does not use a contact form. Communication takes place through the email link provided on the website.

If you contact Theodoros Sotirios Tountas by email, the information you voluntarily provide—including your name, email address, message and any attachments—will be processed only to respond to your enquiry and manage the resulting communication.

Depending on the nature of the enquiry, the legal basis is either taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement or the legitimate interest in responding to professional correspondence.

3. External Services and Content

The website does not currently use external fonts, embedded videos, maps, advertising services, public comments or visitor accounts.

Google Analytics is the only measured third-party service that receives website usage data, and it is activated only after consent.

4. International Data Transfers

Google may process Analytics data outside the European Economic Area. Where such transfers occur, Google applies the safeguards described in its contractual terms and privacy documentation.

5. Data Retention

  • Google Analytics data are retained according to the retention settings of the Analytics property and Google’s applicable data-retention controls.
  • The duration of individual cookies is stated in the Cookie Policy.
  • Email correspondence is retained only for as long as necessary to respond to the enquiry, manage the resulting professional communication and comply with any applicable legal obligations.

6. Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You may accept, reject or modify your cookie preferences through the consent banner or the website’s cookie settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
