Privacy Policy

The Current Website

This website does not provide customer accounts, an online shop or an on-site newsletter signup form.
The website code does not set analytics or advertising cookies.
If you choose a language, the website remembers that preference in this browser for up to 180 days using local storage. Dismissing a language suggestion is remembered for the current tab session. These preferences are not sent to the website and can be cleared through your browser’s site-data settings.
Cloudflare delivers and protects the website and may process technical connection information, such as IP addresses, for these purposes.
When you submit the contact form, the website transmits the information you enter to Tsimis at info@tsimis.gr using Cloudflare Email Sending.
The contact page uses Cloudflare Turnstile to help prevent automated submissions. This security service processes technical information about the connection, browser and device.
To limit automated requests and duplicate submissions, the website stores hashed technical identifiers and delivery status in its active application table for 24 hours. Expired records are removed by an hourly cleanup, so deletion can take up to 25 hours. This table does not store your message text or raw IP address. These limits concern the active table, not the company’s email inbox or the service provider’s logs, backups and recovery copies, which may be retained longer.
