Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Halkidiki4Villas (“we”, “us”) operates halkidiki4villas.com, a website for renting private holiday villas in Halkidiki, Greece. This page explains what personal information we collect, why, and what your rights are. We keep it deliberately simple, because what we do with your data is simple.
What we collect
We only collect what you give us directly:
- Booking requests: your name, email address, phone number, chosen villa and dates, party size, any optional extras you select, and anything you write in the message field.
- Contact messages: your name, email address and your message.
- Technical basics: like almost every website, our server keeps short-lived logs (IP address, browser type) for security and troubleshooting.
We do not take payments through this website, so we never see or store card numbers or bank details. We do not use advertising trackers or analytics cookies, and the site works without asking you to create an account.
Why we use it
- To reply to your booking request, confirm availability, and arrange your stay (performance of a contract / steps before a contract — GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
- To answer questions you send us (our legitimate interest in responding — Art. 6(1)(f)).
- To meet legal obligations that come with renting accommodation in Greece (Art. 6(1)(c)).
We never sell your information, and we do not use it for marketing lists.
Who sees it
Your booking details are shared only with the people needed to host you: the owner or caretaker of the villa you are booking. Beyond that, your data stays with us and the technical providers that run the website (hosting and email delivery).
Villa pages include an embedded Google Map. When a page with a map loads, Google receives the technical data any embedded content receives (such as your IP address). See Google’s own privacy policy for details.
How long we keep it
Booking requests and correspondence are kept while we arrange and host your stay and for up to 2 years afterwards, so we can help with follow-up questions and returning guests. You can ask us to delete them sooner at any time. Server logs are kept only briefly.
Cookies
The site uses only the essential cookies WordPress needs to function (for example, when the site owner logs in). There are no advertising or tracking cookies, which is why we do not show a cookie banner.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us at any time to:
- see a copy of the information we hold about you;
- correct it or delete it;
- stop using it (where we do not have a legal duty to keep it).
Just email us — no forms, no fuss. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you also have the right to complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (dpa.gr).
