Privacy Policy

This text is a translation. If there is any difference, the Greek version prevails.

This Policy explains how personal data is collected and used when you visit georgeaslanis.gr (the "Website") or contact me through it, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Greek law.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The controller is Georgios Aslanis (George Aslanis), sole proprietorship trading as GA Strategic Partnerships, GEMI 168878803000, VAT No. EL045311252, tax office: KEFODE Attikis, Kasampa 41, 162 31 Vyronas, Athens, Greece, email [email protected] ("I", "we"). For any question about your personal data, write to [email protected].

2. What data is collected, why, and on what legal basis

• Newsletter ("Subscribe" form): your email address. Purpose: to send you my news and events. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email or by writing to me.
• Booking a meeting (HubSpot calendar on the "Schedule" pages): the details you enter when you book (such as name, email, chosen time and any note). Purpose: to arrange and hold the meeting. Legal basis: steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b)). The calendar loads only if you accept cookies.
• Email: when you write to me, your email address and whatever your message contains. Purpose: to reply to you. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in answering messages (Art. 6(1)(f)) and, where relevant, steps at your request (Art. 6(1)(b)).
• Visitor statistics (HubSpot tracking code): pages visited, time of the visit, the page you came from, your device and browser, and an identifier stored in a cookie. Purpose: to understand which content is useful. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). It runs only if you accept cookies.
• Technical data: when you visit the Website, the hosting and security providers record technical data such as IP address, browser and time of the visit, for security and to keep the Website working. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Providing your data is voluntary. Without an email address I cannot send you the newsletter or answer you. I do not collect special categories of data (such as health, religion or political opinions) and I do not make decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling.

3. Who receives your data

• HubSpot, Inc. and its affiliates: newsletter list, booking calendar and visitor statistics. This HubSpot account uses HubSpot's EU data centre.
• Web Ideas (web developer and hosting provider): hosting and maintenance of the Website; the server is located in Germany.
• Cloudflare, Inc.: network and security provider that protects the Website against attacks and automated abuse.
• Google (YouTube): only if you play a video embedded in an article (see the Cookie Policy).
• Public authorities, only where the law requires it.

These providers process data on my behalf and under data-processing terms. I never sell your data and never give it to third parties for their own marketing.

4. Transfers outside the EU

HubSpot, Inc. and Cloudflare, Inc. are based in the USA. HubSpot states that it protects transfers of personal data from the EEA with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (HubSpot Privacy Policy, legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy). Any transfer outside the EEA takes place only with one of the safeguards of the GDPR (Art. 44-49).

5. How long your data is kept

• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
• Bookings and email correspondence: 2 years after our last contact, unless we start working together.
• Visitor statistics (HubSpot cookies): up to 6 months in your browser; you can delete them at any time.
• Technical data in server logs: for the limited period needed for security.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access your data; to correct it; to have it erased; to restrict its processing; to receive it in a portable format; to object to processing based on legitimate interest; and to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting processing done before the withdrawal. Write to [email protected]. I answer free of charge within one month; for complex requests this may be extended by two more months, and I will tell you so within the first month. I may ask you to confirm your identity.

7. Right to complain

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority, Kifisias 1-3, 115 23 Athens, Greece, tel. +30 210 6475600, [email protected], www.dpa.gr, or with the data protection authority of the EU country where you live or work.

8. Security

The Website uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS), restricted access to its administration, and reputable providers.
