Privacy policy

by Effrosyni Moschoudi

Indie author, blogger, and controller at EffrosyniWrites.com

 

I respect the privacy of my readers, and I am committed to protecting it. I require only a first name and an email address in order to register my readers on my newsletter list.

My promise to you: I will never share your private details with anyone. You will only receive email communications from me, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

For more information, please read below my detailed data and privacy policy.

 

DATA COLLECTION FOR MY NEWSLETTER

Via my newsletter I inform my readers by email about my news, book offers, and generally whenever I have something fun or newsworthy to report. I send out newsletters sparsely, about twice a month. The only information I request for the registration is a first name and an email address. In every newsletter, I provide the option to unsubscribe. Readers sign up to my newsletter with the use of this form.

 

DATA COLLECTION FOR COMMENTS

When you leave a comment on my blog posts or my Corfu guide, WordPress and the plugin Disqus store your gravatar name, IP address, and email. Therefore, leaving a comment is considered a clear affirmative action as defined by the GDPR giving me consent to store this information. Your personal information will not be sold to any third parties under any circumstances. If you do not consent to this, please don’t leave a comment.

If you require me to edit or delete a comment you have submitted on my site, kindly send me an email via the contact form below to advise your requirement, and I’ll assist you asap.

 

ACCESS TO DATA AND RETENTION

All private details that I collect for my newsletter subscribers are stored on the website Mad Mimi. 

I am the sole controller of the data I collect and store on Mad Mimi, and the only person who has access to it on a day-to-day basis. Only in the case of a technical problem, access to this data may be given to their technical team. In every case, the data is treated as strictly confidential, and remains solely available on Mad Mimi.

I will never rent, sell, or share data with others. If a subscriber wishes to see a copy of their private data, I will happily provide the information upon receiving their request by email or via the contact form below.

I retain data for present and past subscribers. If a subscriber wishes for their data to be deleted, I will happily do so upon receiving their request by email or via the contact form below.

 

SECURITY

I value your trust in providing me with your personal information, and have thus selected Mad Mimi, a reliable and highly popular email service provider to ensure security for the data I store. As you appreciate, no method of electronic storage on the Internet can be 100% secure and reliable, therefore, I cannot guarantee its absolute security. However, if there is ever a breech I promise to inform the authorities and the affected subscribers by email as soon as possible and within 72 hours.

 

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

My website contains links to a multitude of other Internet sites. I am not responsible or aware of the privacy policies of these sites and urge you to read their privacy and information collection practices before submitting any of your private details to them.

 

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The information provided on this website, and my books themselves, are not meant for readers who are minors. I am not a children’s author, and it is not my intention to collect data of people who are underaged. If, however, unbeknownst to me, I have collected the data of a minor, and you, being their parent or guardian, feel concerned, please use the contact form below to email me so I can delete their private information.

 

COOKIES

Any cookies on my website are used to ensure normal website functions (for instance, Youtube videos won’t work without their own identifiers). These cookies cannot be switched off because the website wouldn’t work properly anymore. However, to the best of my knowledge and at the time of writing, these identifiers do not store any personal data.

 

YOUR RIGHT TO COMPLAIN

If, despite my best intentions, you feel your data has been misused by this site, you have the right to complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA).
