Respektujeme vaše soukromí a chráníme vaše údaje.

This policy explains what GreekConnect (greekconnect.world) collects, why, and what you can do about it. We collect only what the directory needs to work. We do not sell personal data and we show no advertising based on you.
You can search and read listings without an account. Like every website, our hosting server records each request (address of your connection, browser, page, time) in its logs, for security and to keep the site running. These logs are not used to build profiles.
When you register we store your username, your e-mail address, your password (only as a one-way code, never readable), an optional recovery word (also only as a one-way code), an optional profile picture and the date of your last login. We send you e-mails only about your account: a welcome message and, when you ask for it, a password reset link that works once and for one hour.
To protect the registration and the contact form against bots, the address of your connection is kept only as a one-way code (it cannot be turned back into the address) and only to count attempts for 24 hours.
A listing you add or edit (name, address, phone, e-mail, website, social links, description, photos) is meant to be public and is shown to every visitor. You can change it or hide it from visitors at any time from your business page.
Many listings come from public sources, mainly OpenStreetMap, and from information that businesses publish themselves. When you send an "Is this your business?" request, we keep the details you give and the proof you choose, so that a person can check it.
„Nejblíže ke mně“: pokud sdílíte svou polohu nebo napíšete adresu, poloha zůstává jen ve vašem prohlížeči (cookie, s přesností asi 100 m, na 30 dní) a slouží jen k řazení výsledků podle vzdálenosti. Napsanou adresu vyhledá náš server v OpenStreetMap (Nominatim), nebo v Googlu, pokud ji OpenStreetMap nezná; nic dalšího o vás se neposílá. „Smazat“ polohu odstraní.
Messages you send through the Contact page (your name, your e-mail address and the message) are kept so that we can read and answer them, and they may be forwarded to the site's own mailbox. They are deleted when they are no longer needed.
We use only cookies that the site needs: a session cookie that keeps you logged in and protects the forms, the language you chose (1 year), and, only if you use "Closest to me", your position and that sort order (30 days). Site administrators have their own login cookies. There are no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies.
The page fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers, which see the address of your connection. A typed address for "Closest to me" is looked up at OpenStreetMap (Nominatim). If paid plans are offered, payments are made through Stripe or PayPal: they receive your payment details, we never see your card number; we keep only the order (plan, amount, date, status). E-mails are sent through our hosting provider's mail server.
To run your account and your listings (the service you asked for), to keep the site safe and free of abuse (our legitimate interest), to sort results by distance when you choose "Closest to me" (your choice), and to answer your messages (your request).
Your account and listings stay until you ask us to delete them. Password reset links expire after one hour, the anti-abuse counters after 24 hours, the "Closest to me" cookies after 30 days. Contact messages are deleted once they have been dealt with. Server logs are kept and deleted by our hosting provider according to its own rules.
You can ask to see the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it (including your whole account), to limit or object to its use, and to receive it in a common format. Write to us through the Contact page; we answer as soon as we can and within one month. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Passwords are stored only as one-way codes, every page is served over an encrypted connection (https), and only the site's administrators can open the admin panel. If we change this policy, the new version is published on this page with its date.
