Privacy Policy
How questsmediarostr.xyz handles your personal data.
1. Who we are
This website, questsmediarostr.xyz, is operated by Questsmediarostr Media Ltd (Company No. 14829307), registered at 27 Harbourview Avenue, Piraeus 185 36, Greece ("we", "us", "our"). We are the data controller for personal data processed through this website. This policy explains what we collect, why, how long we keep it and the rights you have.
2. Data we collect
We collect only the data needed to run an editorial website and respond to readers:
- Contact form data: your name, email address, selected topic and message when you write to us.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and pages viewed, recorded in server logs for security and performance.
- Consent data: your cookie preferences, stored in your browser's local storage.
- Analytics data: aggregated usage statistics, collected only if you accept analytics cookies.
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16, and we do not collect special category data.
3. How and why we use data
We process personal data on the following legal bases under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): to respond to your enquiries (legitimate interests or steps prior to a contract); to keep the site secure and functioning (legitimate interests); to measure readership and improve content (consent); and to comply with legal obligations. We never sell personal data and never use it for automated decision-making that produces legal effects.
4. Cookies
We use essential storage to remember your consent choice, and optional analytics and functional cookies only with your permission. Full details, including a table of cookies and opt-out instructions, are in our Cookie Policy.
5. Third-party processors
We use carefully selected service providers acting on our instructions under written data processing agreements: a website hosting provider with data centres in the European Economic Area; an email service provider that delivers contact form messages to our editorial inbox; and, where you consent, a privacy-focused analytics provider configured to anonymise IP addresses. Where any processor transfers data outside the EEA, we rely on European Commission adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Data retention
- Contact form messages: 24 months after our last correspondence, then deleted.
- Server logs: 90 days.
- Analytics data: 14 months in aggregated form.
- Consent records: until you change or clear them in your browser.
7. Your rights under GDPR
If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the right to access your data, rectify inaccuracies, request erasure, restrict or object to processing, receive your data in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
8. Your rights under the CCPA
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know which categories of personal information we collect and why, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
9. Security
We protect data with encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls limited to editorial staff, and regular review of our processors' security practices. No online system is perfectly secure, but we act promptly on any suspected incident and will notify affected users and authorities where required.
10. Data Protection Officer and contact
You can contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] or by post at the registered address above, marked "Attn: Data Protection Officer". We respond to verified requests within 30 days. General enquiries can be sent via our contact page.
