Privacy policy

The short version: we only ask for what we need to plan your wedding, we never sell it, and optional cookies stay off until you say yes.

Last updated: October 2026

Who we are

This website is run by Vekris Baliousi Limited Partnership, trading as Mike Vekris Wedding Entertainment, 23 Lykavittou Street, Anoixi 145 69, Greece, VAT no. EL803191250. We decide how your information is used, so under the GDPR we are the “controller”.

For anything about your information, write to webmaster@mikevekris.gr or call +30 215 215 1635 (Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00 Greek time).

What we collect, and why

When you send an enquiry

The enquiry form asks for your names, email, wedding date, island and venue, and lets you tell us about your plans: guest numbers, the services and style you have in mind, a budget range, a wedding planner if you have one, a moodboard link and how you found us. We use this only to reply, to prepare a proposal and, if you book, to plan your wedding. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Enquiries are saved on this website and sent securely to our own booking system, where we keep the details of your wedding in one place. If you came from one of our ads, we also note that, so we know which ads are worth running.

When you book with us

Once you book, we keep what is needed to deliver your wedding and to meet our legal duties: the agreement, your contact details, the plans we make together, and invoices and payments. Planning details are needed for the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); invoices and payment records are kept because Greek tax law requires it (Art. 6(1)(c)).

Live chat and WhatsApp

Our live chat runs on tawk.to. If you use it, tawk.to processes your messages and anything you choose to share (such as your name and email) on our behalf, along with basic technical details like your browser and approximate location. The chat only loads after you allow it in the cookie banner.

If you message us on WhatsApp, your messages are handled by WhatsApp (Meta) under its own terms and privacy policy. We use WhatsApp Business only to talk with you about your wedding.

Occasional emails

If you tick the box on the enquiry form or sign up on the blog, we send you an occasional email, twice a year at most. This is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time by replying “unsubscribe” or writing to us.

Job applications

If you apply through the Careers page, we use your details only to consider your application. If you are not hired, we delete them after 12 months, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Keeping the website safe

To stop spam and abuse, the forms use invisible checks: a hidden field, a one-time code and, where enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile, which looks at technical signals from your browser. We also count requests per IP address for one hour, without storing the address itself. This is our legitimate interest in keeping the website secure (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Cookies and embedded content

The website works without any optional cookies. When you first visit, a banner lets you choose:

  • Necessary: always on. Only one cookie of our own, mv_consent, which remembers your choice for 180 days.
  • Videos & social posts: YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, TikTok and the tawk.to live chat. These services may set their own cookies and receive your IP address when their content loads. Until you allow them, videos and posts show a placeholder instead.
  • Statistics & ads: Google Analytics and Google Ads, used to understand how the site is used and how our ads perform. They only load if you allow them (Google Consent Mode).

You can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings, also linked at the bottom of every page. Links to Spotify playlists and other websites are plain links: nothing loads from those services until you click.

Who else handles your information

We do not sell your information or share it for others’ marketing. We use a small number of trusted providers who process it for us under contract:

  • DNHost (Greece): website hosting and our email.
  • Vercel and Supabase: hosting and database for our booking system.
  • tawk.to: live chat.
  • Cloudflare: spam protection on the forms.
  • Google: YouTube videos and, only if you allow them, Analytics and Ads.
  • Meta (Instagram, WhatsApp), TikTok and Vimeo: only when you allow their content or contact us through them.

For your wedding we may also share what is strictly needed with your venue and wedding planner, and with the crew and collaborators working on the day.

Some of these providers are based outside the European Economic Area, mainly in the United States. Where that happens, the transfer is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

  • Enquiries that do not lead to a booking: 2 years, then deleted.
  • Bookings, agreements, invoices and payments: as long as Greek tax and accounting law requires, normally 5 years after the end of the year of the wedding.
  • Occasional emails: until you unsubscribe.
  • Job applications: 12 months.
  • Chat transcripts: 12 months.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, to delete it, to limit how we use it, to object to its use, or to receive it in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Just write to us; we reply within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, please tell us first. You also have the right to complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (dpa.gr) or the authority in the country where you live.

Children

This website is meant for couples planning their wedding. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes

If we change how we use your information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
