Privacy Policy
 

Last updated: October 2025

 

Thank you for visiting Devanakis.com
Your trust matters to me. This policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your information when you visit my website, purchase artwork, or subscribe to my newsletter. I wrote it in clear language so you know exactly what happens with your data.

​

1. Who I am

This website is owned and operated by Michel Devanakis, located in Marathon, Greece.
You can contact me at any time through the contact form on my website: https://www.devanakis.com.

 

2. What data I collect

I collect only what is necessary to run the site and fulfill orders:

  • Contact details (name, email, shipping address, phone number if provided).

  • Purchase information (items ordered, order value, payment status).

  • Newsletter data (email address and any preferences you choose).

  • Technical information collected automatically by Wix, such as browser type, pages visited, and approximate location. This helps me understand how visitors use the site.

I do not collect or store any sensitive personal data.

 

3. How I collect your information

  • When you place an order or fill out a contact form.

  • When you subscribe to my newsletter.

  • Automatically, through cookies and similar technologies managed by Wix.

  • Through secure payment platforms (PayPal, Stripe, and Google Pay) when you make a purchase.

 

4. How I use your information

Your data is used only for the following purposes:

  • To process and deliver your order.

  • To communicate with you about purchases or inquiries.

  • To send newsletters or updates if you’ve subscribed (you can unsubscribe anytime).

  • To improve my website and user experience.

  • To meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations.

I never sell or rent your information to third parties.

 

5. Payments and security

Payments are processed securely through trusted providers including PayPal, Stripe, and Google Pay.
These platforms handle your payment details directly, using encryption and industry-standard safeguards.
I do not store or have access to your full credit-card information.

All data transmitted between your browser and the website is encrypted via HTTPS (SSL).

 

6. Third-party services

To operate this website smoothly, I rely on a few third-party partners who process limited data on my behalf:

  • Wix.com Ltd. – website hosting, analytics, and contact forms.

  • PayPal, Stripe, and Google Pay – payment processing.

  • My email service provider – for newsletters and updates.

Each of these providers complies with GDPR and CCPA requirements and maintains its own privacy policy. I choose partners that respect privacy and use secure data-transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) when information moves internationally.

 

7. Data retention

I keep order and customer information for as long as required by law (for accounting and tax records).
Newsletter and contact data are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

 

8. Your rights

If you live in the EU, the UK, or California, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data I hold about you.

  • Request correction or deletion of your data.

  • Withdraw consent to receive newsletters.

  • Request data portability or limitation of processing.

You can exercise these rights anytime by contacting me through the website form.

 

9. Cookies

This website uses cookies managed through Wix to improve browsing experience and basic analytics.
A separate Cookie Policy will explain these tools in detail and allow you to manage your preferences.

 

10. Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect new legal or technical requirements.
The latest version will always be available on this page.
