Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for your data?

The website operator listed below is responsible for personal data collected directly through this website.

2. What data do we process?

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

• your email address when you voluntarily subscribe to The Pour;
• the date and time of newsletter consent, subscription status and unsubscribe status;
• technical information required to operate and secure the website, such as server request logs and session information;
• your cookie/privacy preference stored on your device.

We do not ask newsletter subscribers for sensitive personal data.

3. The Pour newsletter

When you subscribe, your email address is used to send the newsletter and related editorial updates. The legal basis is your consent. Subscription is optional, and you can withdraw that consent at any time using the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails.

Newsletter emails may also record whether a welcome message or Story campaign was successfully queued/sent by the website so that the system can avoid accidental duplicate mailings.

4. Hosting, security and technical services

The website's hosting and email infrastructure may process standard technical request and delivery data where necessary to provide, secure and maintain the service.

Pages may also request externally hosted assets such as web fonts or editorial imagery. Those external providers may receive standard connection information such as an IP address and browser request data.

5. Cookies and local preferences

The site currently uses only necessary cookies or similar storage for essential functions such as sessions and remembering your privacy preference. Analytics and advertising cookie services are not currently active. Full details are available in the Cookie Policy.

6. How long is data kept?

Active newsletter data is kept while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, the system may retain a limited suppression record so that your opt-out can be respected, unless the record is deleted where appropriate. Technical logs are retained according to operational and hosting requirements.

7. Your data-protection rights

Subject to the conditions of applicable data-protection law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability of your personal data. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Greece, this is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.
