Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 15, 2025

At Oxelbrynth, we respect your privacy and work hard to protect your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you interact with our culinary education platform. We operate under Greek and European Union data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who We Are

Oxelbrynth operates as an educational platform focused on ethnic cuisines, offering courses, workshops, and culinary resources. Our registered address is 47 Papagou Ave, Zografou, 15773, Greece. When we refer to "we," "us," or "our" in this document, we mean Oxelbrynth and its associated educational services.

You can reach our team for privacy-related questions through the contact information provided at the end of this policy.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you register for courses, create an account, or contact us, you might share:

  • Your name and email address
  • Phone number if you choose to provide it
  • Billing information when you enroll in paid programs
  • Educational background and culinary interests
  • Messages you send through our contact forms or support channels

Information Collected Automatically

Our website gathers certain technical data automatically when you visit:

  • IP address and general location information
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Pages you visit and time spent on our site
  • Referring website addresses
  • Device identifiers and screen resolution

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience. These small files help us remember your preferences and understand how people use our platform. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though some features might not work as smoothly if you disable them.

How We Use Your Information

We process your data for specific reasons that support our educational mission:

Purpose Legal Basis
Processing course enrollments and managing your account Contract performance
Sending course materials and educational updates Contract performance
Responding to your questions and support requests Legitimate interest
Improving our website and course offerings Legitimate interest
Sending promotional emails about new courses Consent (you can opt out anytime)
Preventing fraud and maintaining platform security Legal obligation

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. Your trust matters more than quick revenue.

Sharing Your Information

We limit data sharing to situations where it's truly necessary:

  • Service Providers: We work with trusted companies that help run our platform — payment processors, email services, hosting providers. These partners can only use your data to perform their specific tasks for us.
  • Legal Requirements: If Greek or EU authorities require it, or if we need to protect our legal rights, we might disclose information. This happens rarely and only when legally obligated.
  • Business Transfers: Should Oxelbrynth merge with another company or restructure, your data might transfer as part of that process. Any new owner would need to honor this privacy policy.

We never share your personal information with marketing companies or data brokers. Your enrollment in our courses remains private.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As someone whose data we process, you have substantial rights under European and Greek law. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this in a readable format within 30 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

If something in your profile is wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it promptly.

Delete Your Information

Ask us to erase your data when we no longer need it for legitimate purposes. Some exceptions apply for legal or financial records.

Restrict Processing

Temporarily limit how we use your data while we verify its accuracy or assess your objection to processing.

Object to Processing

Stop us from using your data for direct marketing or other purposes based on legitimate interests.

Data Portability

Receive your data in a structured format that you can transfer to another service provider.

To exercise any of these rights, send an email to support@revert.app-recipes.com with your request. We'll verify your identity and respond within the timeframe required by law. You also have the right to file a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority if you believe we've mishandled your information.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your information is something we take seriously. Our security approach includes:

  • SSL encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers
  • Secure storage systems with restricted access controls
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Staff training on data protection best practices
  • Secure payment processing through PCI-compliant providers

No system is completely immune to breaches, but we maintain industry-standard protections and monitor for suspicious activity. If a security incident affects your data, we'll notify you and relevant authorities as required by Greek and EU law.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't hold onto information longer than necessary. Here's our general approach:

  • Active Students: Your account data stays active while you're enrolled in courses or using our platform regularly.
  • Course Completion: After you finish a program, we keep your enrollment records and certificates for seven years to comply with Greek educational regulations.
  • Inactive Accounts: If you haven't logged in for three years, we'll send a reminder. Without a response, we may delete your account after an additional year.
  • Financial Records: Payment information and invoices are retained for ten years as required by Greek tax law.
  • Marketing Lists: If you unsubscribe from promotional emails, we keep your email address on a suppression list to prevent accidental re-enrollment.

You can request earlier deletion of your data, though we might need to retain certain records for legal or accounting purposes.

International Data Transfers

Our primary servers are located within the European Union, so your data generally stays within GDPR-protected territory. However, some of our service providers operate globally, which might involve transferring your information outside the EU.

When this happens, we ensure adequate protections through:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Partnerships with companies certified under recognized data protection frameworks
  • Additional security measures where needed

Children's Privacy

Our courses are designed for adults, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16 years old. If you're a parent who discovers that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we'll delete it.

Some of our culinary workshops welcome younger participants when accompanied by adults. In those cases, we collect information only from the supervising adult.

Third-Party Links

Our website occasionally links to external resources — recipe databases, ingredient suppliers, culinary associations. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their privacy practices. When you click through to another website, their policies take over.

We try to link only to reputable sources, but you should review their privacy policies independently.

Changes to This Policy

We update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant revisions, we'll notify active users by email and post a notice on our website.

The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we last modified this document. Continuing to use our services after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

Your Consent

By using Oxelbrynth's website and enrolling in our courses, you consent to this privacy policy. For activities requiring explicit consent — like marketing emails — we'll ask for your permission separately and make it easy to withdraw that consent later.
