AdGurus treats the security and confidentiality of personal information as a priority. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website or communicate with us, why it is used, how long it may be kept, and the choices available to you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
By continuing to use the website, you acknowledge this policy. If you do not agree with it, please stop using the website.
1. Data controller
The controller responsible for personal data covered by this policy is Ioannis Giovanos, Syntagmatarchou Zisimopoulou 115, Athens, Greece.
Questions and privacy requests may be sent to [email protected].
2. Information we may collect
Personal data is information that identifies you directly or can reasonably be connected with you. Depending on how you interact with AdGurus, this may include:
- Your name, work email, telephone number, company, website, and other contact details.
- Information you choose to include in an email, enquiry, audit application, or other communication.
- Business context such as industry, marketing activity, media-spend range, commercial priorities, and the problem you want to discuss.
- Technical information generated when you visit the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, requested pages, and timestamps.
Technical logs may be retained for up to seven days where they are needed to operate the website, investigate errors, or protect it against abuse and attacks. Aggregated or anonymized information may be used for statistical analysis.
3. Why we use personal data
Information is processed only when there is a lawful basis. Depending on the circumstances, AdGurus may use personal data to:
- Respond to enquiries and discuss requested services.
- Assess whether an audit, consulting engagement, or other service is suitable.
- Deliver agreed services and manage the resulting business relationship.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
- Prevent or investigate misuse, fraud, security incidents, or unlawful activity.
- Comply with legal duties, official requests, court orders, and record-keeping requirements.
- Send service updates or marketing communications where you have given consent or where another lawful basis applies.
The applicable legal basis may be your consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or a legitimate interest that does not override your rights.
4. Cookies and third-party services
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand usage, and protect the website. You can review, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting cookies may affect parts of the website or third-party content.
Google Tag Manager is used to deploy and manage website measurement tags. Depending on the tags configured in the container, Google and other measurement providers may process device, browser, usage, and interaction data as described in their own privacy information.
Contact-form submissions are stored using Cloudflare D1 and sent to AdGurus as a transactional notification using Brevo. These service providers process the information only to host, secure, and deliver the website and its communications, subject to their applicable data-processing terms.
Some pages may include external services, embedded media, review widgets, social content, or links to partner platforms. Those providers may receive technical information and may use their own cookies or similar technologies. Their processing is governed by their own privacy notices.
5. Data security
AdGurus uses appropriate technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, loss, disclosure, or misuse. Access is limited to people who need the information for their work and who are subject to confidentiality duties.
Website communications are protected in transit using TLS where supported. Security measures are reviewed and updated as technology and risks evolve. No internet-based service can, however, guarantee absolute security.
6. Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected. The period depends on the type of information, the relationship with you, and any legal, contractual, accounting, or dispute-related obligations.
Contact details used for communications may be kept while the relevant relationship or consent remains active. Information that must be preserved for legal or business records may be restricted from other uses instead of being deleted immediately.
7. Your GDPR rights
Subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law, you may ask AdGurus to:
- Confirm whether your personal data is being processed and provide access to it.
- Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Erase information that is no longer required.
- Restrict how information is processed.
- Provide eligible information in a portable format.
- Stop processing based on legitimate interests, including processing for direct marketing.
You may also withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal applies to future processing and does not invalidate processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
To exercise a right, email [email protected]. AdGurus may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority.
8. Communications and consent
Where consent is required for updates or marketing communications, it will be requested clearly. You can object or withdraw consent without charge other than any normal cost charged by your communications provider. Email messages may also include an unsubscribe option.
It may take a short period to process a request that affects active communication systems. After the request is completed, your details will no longer be used for the objected-to purpose unless the law permits or requires otherwise.
9. External websites
This website links to websites operated by other organizations. AdGurus does not control their privacy or security practices. Review the privacy notice of an external website before providing information to it.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, services, legal requirements, or data practices change. The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date.
