We may update this Policy to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. We’ll post the new version with the updated date. Where required by law, we’ll notify you.

- Contact details: name, address, phone, email.
- Order details: billing/shipping info, items purchased, payment confirmation.
- Account details (if you create one): login email and credentials.

- Usage data: device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, interactions (via cookies/pixels and similar tech).

Legal Bases (EEA/UK)
- Contract necessity (e.g., process orders, payments, delivery, returns).
- Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, fraud prevention, basic analytics, improving products/services). We balance these against your rights.
- Consent (e.g., email marketing; non-essential cookies). You can withdraw at any time.
- Legal obligation (e.g., tax/accounting, consumer law).
How We Use Personal Information
- To provide the Services: process orders/payments, ship goods, handle returns, manage your account, and communicate about your purchases.
- Support & improvement: respond to messages, improve our site/products, maintain security and fraud prevention.
- Marketing: send product news or offers (opt out anytime via the unsubscribe link).

Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies to run and improve the site (e.g., remember preferences, analytics). Details on Shopify-related cookies: shopify.com/legal/cookies. You can control cookies via your browser or the site’s cookie preferences. Blocking some cookies may affect functionality.
How We Share Information
We share personal information only as needed to operate the business:
- Platform & hosting: Shopify (storefront, checkout, infrastructure).
- Payments: card processors/PayPal to take payment and prevent fraud.
- Shipping: postal/courier services to deliver your order (e.g., ELTA and destination postal operators).
- Support & operations: email/communications tools, analytics, IT providers.
- Legal/compliance: where required by law or to protect rights and safety.
We do not sell personal information.
International Transfers
Your data may be processed outside your country (including outside the EEA). When we transfer data internationally, we rely on recognized safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, unless the destination has an adequacy decision.
Security & Retention
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, but no method is 100% secure. We keep order records for as long as required by law (typically up to 6 years for tax/accounting). Other data is kept only as long as needed for the purposes above or to resolve disputes.
Your Rights (EEA/UK)
Subject to law, you may have the right to: access, correct, delete, or receive a copy (portability) of your data; object to or restrict processing; and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You can also object to direct marketing at any time.
Exercise rights by emailing hello@tsavalas.com. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (see the EDPB list: edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/members ).
Children
Our Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect children’s data. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us to delete it.
Third-Party Sites
Our site may link to third-party sites we don’t control. Review their privacy policies; we aren’t responsible for their content or practices.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
