I’m delighted that you’re interested in my Cyprus blog. The protection of your personal data is of utmost importance to me. Below, I will provide you with detailed explanations on how I handle your personal data.
1. Access data and hosting
You can visit my blog without providing any personal information. When you access a website, the web server automatically stores a server log file containing access data such as the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transmitted, and the requesting provider, in order to document the access. The access data is evaluated solely to ensure the smooth operation of the site and to improve my services. In order to ensure the correct presentation of my services in accordance with article 6 subsection 1 sentence 1 letter f DSGVO, I rely on my predominant legitimate interests, which I have considered as part of a balancing of interests. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after your visit to the site.
1.1 Hosting
Partially, my service provider performs the services for hosting and displaying my blog on behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data as well as any data collected via the designated forms on this blog will be processed on their servers. For any inquiries regarding my service providers and the basis of our cooperation, I kindly ask you to use the contact method described in this privacy policy. My service providers are based in the USA. As there is currently no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA, I rely on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for our cooperation.
1.2 Content delivery network
To shorten the loading time of certain offerings, I use a content delivery network (‘CDN’). External CDN service providers provide regionally distributed servers for this service to deliver content such as large media files. Therefore, access data is processed on the servers of the service providers. For any inquiries regarding my service providers and the basis of our cooperation, I kindly ask you to use the contact method described in this privacy policy. My service providers are based in the USA. As there is currently no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA, I rely on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for our cooperation.
2. Data processing for contacting and customer communication
Making contact
I only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to me when you contact me, for example, by filling out a contact form or sending an email. In order for me to process your contact request, certain data marked as mandatory is required. Without this data, it is not possible to submit the contact request. You can see from the respective input forms which data is collected. I will use the data provided by you in accordance with article 6 subsection 1 sentence 1 letter b DSGVO, to process your request. After your customer inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be restricted in accordance with article 6 subsection 1 sentence 1 letter c DSGVO and deleted after the expiry of the statutory retention periods for tax and commercial purposes. This will occur unless you have explicitly consented to further use of your data in accordance with article 6 subsection 1 sentence 1 letter a DSGVO, or unless I reserve the right for a legally permitted data usage, about which I will inform you in this statement.
3. Cookies and other technologies
3.1 General information
To make my blog more appealing to visitors and enable certain functions, I use technologies such as cookies on various pages. When you visit my blog, cookies are automatically stored on your device.

Potential subsequent data processing through cookies and other technologies

This is done as part of a balancing of interests and is based on overriding legitimate interests to present my offering in the best possible way in accordance with article 6 subsection 1 sentence 1 letter f DSGVO.

Use of Google services for web analysis and advertising purposes
My blog employs technologies from Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
