This Privacy Policy explains how Kalypso Homes ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website https://www.kalypso-homes.com/ (the "Site") or contact us about a property. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Greek data protection law (Law 4624/2019).

1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Kalypso Homes 85200 Kalymnos, Greece Email: contact@kalypso-homes.com

(Please confirm: is "Kalypso Homes" the correct legal/registered business name, and is contact@kalypso-homes.com the correct email? Update this section if either needs to change.)

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact us using the details above.

  • Phone number (optional)

  • Your message

  • Which property/villa you're interested in, where applicable (e.g., Zephyra, Maistros, Sirocco)

  • Whether you opt in to receive news and updates (a separate checkbox, not required to submit your enquiry)

b) Data you give us directly — via our newsletter signup:

  • Email address

c) Data collected automatically:

  • IP address and browser information, collected when Google reCAPTCHA protects our forms against spam and abuse

We do not use embedded maps, externally-hosted fonts, advertising trackers, or analytics/session-recording tools, and we do not process online payments through the Site.

3. How We Use Your Information and Legal Basis

  • Responding to your property enquiry — Performance of a contract / pre-contractual steps taken at your request

  • Sending you news and updates (only if you opted in via the checkbox or newsletter form) — Consent

  • Protecting our forms against spam/bots (Google reCAPTCHA) — Legitimate interest in Site security

  • Complying with legal/tax obligations — Legal obligation

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Based on a scan of our Site, the only third-party tool in use is Google reCAPTCHA (provided by Google LLC), which helps protect our forms against spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA is treated as necessary for basic Site security and functioning, consistent with regulatory guidance, and does not require a separate cookie consent banner.

We do not use Adobe Fonts, Google Fonts, Google Maps, analytics tools, or advertising trackers on this Site. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and put a cookie consent mechanism in place as needed.

5. Sharing Your Data with Third Parties

We share data with the following recipients:

  • Google LLC — Google reCAPTCHA (spam/abuse prevention)

  • Squarespace, Inc. — our website hosting and newsletter delivery provider, based in the United States

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not share it with advertising or analytics companies.

6. International Data Transfers

Google and Squarespace, Inc. may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, as implemented by these providers.

7. Data Retention

  • Enquiry form data (name, email, phone, message, property interest): retained for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for up to 12 months afterward for record-keeping purposes, unless you ask us to delete it sooner or a longer period is required by law.

  • Newsletter/marketing data: retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Erase your data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal exceptions

  • Restrict processing in certain circumstances

  • Data portability for data you provided to us

  • Object to processing based on legitimate interest

  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., by unsubscribing from our newsletter), without affecting prior lawful processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@kalypso-homes.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) (www.dpa.gr) if you believe your data has been mishandled.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 16 without parental consent.

10. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
