Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Panoramic View Villa ("we", "us", "our") is a privately owned holiday rental property located in Vathi, Ithaka, Greece. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data collected through this website.

Contact: info@panoramicviewvilla.com

2. Data We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to respond to your inquiry or process your booking:

• Full name
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Preferred travel dates and number of guests
• Any message content you provide
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, and pages visited (via server logs)

3. How We Use Your Data

Your personal data is used exclusively to:

• Respond to booking inquiries and questions
• Confirm and manage reservations
• Communicate important stay-related information
• Improve our website and services

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data based on your consent (when you submit a form), the performance of a contract (when you make a booking), and our legitimate interests (website security and improvement).

5. Cookies

We do not set analytics, advertising, or social media cookies on initial page load. The website is designed to work without non-essential cookies by default.

The only optional third-party content currently offered is the Google Maps embed on the location page. That map is blocked until you choose to load it yourself. If you do, Google may place its own cookies or similar technologies and process technical data such as your IP address under Google's own terms.

If we introduce analytics or any other non-essential technologies in the future, we will ask for consent before loading them.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above. Booking inquiry data is kept for up to 24 months. You may request deletion at any time.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@panoramicviewvilla.com.

8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website is served over HTTPS encryption.

9. Third-Party Services

This website uses Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when the fonts are requested by your browser. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

We also offer an optional Google Maps embed on the location page. The map is not loaded automatically; it is only requested from Google after you actively choose to load it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
