Privacy policy

The website of Vrises Agiou Vasileiou is run by the village association, which is responsible for the personal data collected here. We keep only what the site needs to work, and we never sell it or give it to anyone for advertising.

What we keep

• Member accounts: your email, your name and your password (stored only in encrypted form), your profile picture if you sign in with Google, whether you are from the village or a visitor (only the administrators see it), the photos you upload to the digital archive and your participation in polls. Secret polls do not record what you voted for, only that you took part.

• Messages from the contact form: your name, email, subject and message. Only the site's administrators read them.

• Newsletter: your email, your name if you give it, your language and when you confirmed your subscription. You ask for it with the newsletter form, when you sign up or from your account; asked for at sign-up, it starts once you confirm your email.

• Family tree: names, dates, places and family ties of people of the village and, where there are any, photos and short biographies, from the association's research and from the families themselves. People who have died are shown to everyone. The names and details of people alive today show only to those who have signed in; visitors only see that someone is in that place of the tree.

• Suggestions about the tree: what you write to us, your name and, if you give it, your email. Only the tree's curators read them.

• Visit statistics: we count how many people visit each page without cookies and without being able to tell who you are.

The site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. It only uses what keeps you signed in and, if you vote in a poll open to everyone, a random cookie so that each device counts once.

Why we use them

To run your account and what you do with it, to reply to your messages, to send you the newsletter for as long as you want it (with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time), to preserve the history of the village's families in the family tree and to know which pages are read, so we can improve the site.

Who processes them for us

• Supabase: the database, the accounts and the photo files, on servers in the European Union (Frankfurt).

• Vercel: hosting and delivery of the site's pages.

• Brevo: sending email (confirmations, notifications, the newsletter).

• Cloudflare: protecting the forms from automated programs (bots).

How long we keep them

Your account until you ask us to delete it. Messages for as long as it takes to deal with them. Your newsletter subscription until you unsubscribe, with the link in every email. Archive photos stay in the village archive unless you ask for them to be removed. The details in the family tree stay as part of the village's history; anyone named in it, or their family, can ask for them to be corrected, hidden or removed.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your details, to receive a copy of them, to object to their use or to withdraw your consent. If you believe the law is not being respected, you can complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr).

Contact about your details

For any request, write to us with the form on the «Contact» page or to the association's email shown at the bottom of every page. We will reply within one month at the latest.
