Privacy

Draft, not yet checked. This page still needs a legal check before the site goes live.

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Who is responsible

Ergon Web is run by Pavlos Nicolaou, who is responsible for (the “controller” of) the personal data described here.

When you visit this site

This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics. It loads nothing from other companies: no trackers, no adverts, no outside fonts, no maps, no video. It runs no scripts in your browser.

To deliver the pages, the company that hosts this site processes technical data such as your IP address and the kind of browser you use, on my behalf. I don’t use that data to identify anyone.

When you message me on Instagram

The “Message me” buttons open Instagram. From there you’re using Instagram, which is run by Meta and has its own privacy policy. Nothing is sent to Instagram until you choose to open it.

I see what you send me: your Instagram name and your messages. I use them to reply and, if we work together, to do the work.

The legal basis is taking steps at your request before we might enter into a contract (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). If you write on behalf of a company, it’s my legitimate interest in replying to business enquiries (Article 6(1)(f)), and you can object to that at any time.

Please don’t send passwords, your customers’ personal details or anything confidential in a first message.

The example pages

The three example pages are for invented businesses. Their forms and buttons don’t send anything anywhere: what you type stays in your browser and is gone when you close the page.

How long I keep it

• If we don’t end up working together, I delete our messages six months after we were last in touch.
• If we do work together, I keep what the work needs while it lasts, and what the law requires for tax and accounting records after that.

Who else sees it

Only the services named above. I don’t sell your data, share it for anyone’s marketing or add you to a mailing list.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, and the UK GDPR if you’re in the UK, you can ask me for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how I use it, and to receive it in a format you can take elsewhere. Send me a message on Instagram. I’ll reply within one month.

If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work.
