What we collect and why
Contact form
When you send us a message through the contact form, we receive your name, email, phone number, subject and message. We use them to answer your enquiry.
Sample request
When you send a sample request, we receive the products you selected, together with your name, company, email, phone number and comments. We use them to process your request.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to the newsletter at the bottom of the page, we receive only your email address and use it to send you news from Vekios. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every message or by writing to us at info@vekios.gr. After you unsubscribe we send you no further messages and remove your address from the list.
Legal basis
For the contact form and sample requests, we process these details because they are needed to take the steps you ask for before a possible contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) and because we have a legitimate interest in answering the business enquiries we receive (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Technical data
The website is hosted and protected by Cloudflare. To deliver the pages and protect them against attacks and abuse, Cloudflare processes your IP address and request logs (for example the time, the page requested and the browser type). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the website securely (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Cookies and browser storage
The website uses no tracking or advertising cookies and sets no cookies of its own. It stores only what it needs to work, on your own device (localStorage): this information is never sent to us or anyone else.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
vekios_consent | localStorage, necessary | Remembers your choice about cookies and external content. | Until you delete it |
vekios_sample | localStorage, necessary | The product list of your sample request. | Until you delete it |
vekios_a11y | localStorage, necessary | The accessibility settings you chose. | Until you delete it |
__cf_bm | Cloudflare cookie, necessary | Protects the website against automated traffic (bots). | Up to 30 minutes |
| Google cookies | Third-party cookies, optional | Set by Google only if you accept external content or press “Google map”. | See Google’s policy |
You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. You can also remove all of the above by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
Google Maps
On the contact page the Google map loads automatically only if you have accepted external content (“Accept all” or Google Maps switched on in the cookie settings). Otherwise it loads only when you press “Google map”. Until then the page shows a map we drew ourselves from OpenStreetMap data; it is part of our own page and contacts no third party. Clicking it opens Google Maps (on a phone, the app with directions to us), where Google’s privacy policy applies. Once the Google map loads, Google may set cookies and process data such as your IP address, under Google’s privacy policy. The legal basis is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time in the cookie settings.
Who sees your data
Your data is seen only by:
- our staff who handle your request,
- our email provider (Microsoft 365), where form messages are delivered,
- Cloudflare, which hosts and protects the website.
We do not sell your data or give it to anyone for their own purposes.
Transfers outside the European Union
Microsoft, Cloudflare and, if you load the map, Google are international providers and may process data outside the European Economic Area, mainly in the United States. In those cases the transfer is covered by the safeguards the GDPR provides for: the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (Articles 45 and 46 GDPR). You can ask us for more information by writing to us.
How long we keep it
We keep your messages and requests for as long as we need to handle them and, if we work together, for as long as our business relationship lasts. After that we delete them. We never keep them longer than the law requires or allows.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- find out what data we hold about you and get a copy (access),
- have inaccurate details corrected (rectification),
- ask us to delete them (erasure),
- ask us to limit how we use them (restriction),
- object to our processing them (objection),
- receive them in a common electronic format or have them passed to someone else (portability).
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@vekios.gr. We will reply within one month at the latest.
If you believe the processing of your data breaks the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).
