Privacy policy

Data controller

The editorial team of iartemida.gr is the data controller. For any request about your data, email iartemidagr@gmail.com or write to us through the Contact page; we answer within one month.

What we collect

We keep collection to the minimum the site needs:

• What you send us: name, email and the text or photos you submit through the tip form; and, if you apply to write for us, your phone, area, topics and what you tell us about yourself, used only to assess the application.
• Traffic statistics: anonymous information about which pages were read, via Google Analytics — only with your consent.
• Cookieless traffic measurement: aggregate figures (which page, from which country, on what device, how fast it loaded) via Cloudflare Web Analytics, which stores nothing on your device and does not recognise you from one visit to the next.
• Advertising: data Google collects through AdSense to serve and measure ads — only with your consent.
• Technical data required for secure operation, such as short-lived server logs.

Legal basis

Statistics and advertising rely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time from “Cookie settings” in the footer. Messages you send us rely on our legitimate interest in journalism and in replying to you. Cookieless measurement relies on our legitimate interest in knowing which pages are read and whether the site loads properly.

Retention

Reader messages and material are kept as long as they are journalistically relevant and then deleted. Google statistics are retained in aggregate for up to 14 months. Your cookie choice is stored in your browser for 6 months.

Third parties

We use Google Analytics and Google AdSense (Google Ireland Ltd), Cloudflare to host the site and for cookieless measurement, Supabase for the database (on servers in Ireland) and Brevo to send email. We never sell or trade personal data. Google, Cloudflare and Supabase may transfer some data outside the EU under standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and to withdraw consent. If you believe your rights are being infringed you can complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 15 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
