Effective Date: January 1, 2026. Last revised: March 2026.
1. Data Controller Identification
This Privacy Policy explains how Teamstowatchpatch Media Hellas Single Member P.C. ("Teamstowatchpatch", "we", "our", or "us"), carrying Greek commercial company registration (GEMI) number 154892001000 and registered at 14 Mitropoleos Street, 105 63 Athens, Greece, collects, processes, and safeguards personal data when you visit and browse teamstowatchpatch.com.
2. Categories of Data Collected
We believe in data minimization. The information we process falls into two general categories:
- Voluntarily Disclosed Data: When you complete our contact or editorial inquiry form, we collect your full name, email address, inquiry category, and the body of your message.
- Technical and Device Data: Our hosting infrastructure records standard server access logs, which include your masked Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser family, operating system, referencing URL, date and time stamp, and localized language preferences.
3. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR Article 6)
We process personal data solely in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) and Hellenic Law 4624/2019:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For non-essential cookies and analytics tracking, where you provide clear consent via our cookie banner.
- Contractual / Pre-contractual Necessity (Art. 6(1)(b)): To respond to your direct correspondence, requests for information, or editorial feedback submitted via our contact interface.
- Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): To maintain the network security, integrity, and operational availability of our static publishing servers.

Our website utilizes local storage and minimal HTTP cookies to remember your consent preferences and aggregate anonymized visitor metrics. We do not engage in cross-site tracking or behavioral profiling. For full details on cookie categories and lifespans, review our Cookie Policy.
5. Third-Party Service Processors
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

All processors operate under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) obligating compliance with GDPR confidentiality standards.
6. Data Retention Protocols
Inquiries submitted via our contact form are retained in our secure editorial inbox for twenty-four (24) months to facilitate ongoing correspondence and historical verification of editorial corrections, after which they are permanently deleted. Server log files are purged automatically after thirty (30) days.
