Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Data Controller

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Kavala Online · Marcus Jacobi
Posidonos 28, 65302 Kavala, Greece
E-Mail: info@kavala-online.com

Data Protection Officer (internal): Marcus Jacobi. For any questions regarding data protection or the exercise of your rights, please contact us by e-mail.

2. Overview

This website is a directory for independent escorts in Northern Greece. This service is intended exclusively for adults (18+). We collect only the personal data necessary to provide our services. We do not sell your data. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. All data processing is based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3. Special note on sensitive data (Art. 9 GDPR)

If you create an escort profile, the information you publish (photos, services offered, contact details) may reveal data concerning your sex life within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR. We process and publish this data only with your explicit consent (Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR), which you give during registration and can withdraw at any time by deleting your profile or contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You decide yourself which information and photos appear in your profile. Profiles are excluded from search engine indexing (noindex).

4. Data We Collect

4.1 Visitors (public directory)

When you browse the directory, no personal data is stored by us. Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, page visited, timestamp) are processed by our hosting provider Firebase App Hosting (Google LLC) for security and operational purposes and are automatically deleted after a short retention period.

To protect the platform against abuse, the IP address of certain requests (e.g. login, checkout) is processed for rate limiting via Upstash (see section 6). IP data used for rate limiting is stored only briefly.

4.2 Advertisers (escort profiles)

If you register an account to publish a profile, we process:

  • E-mail address and password (authentication)
  • Profile data you enter: working name, age, city, languages, physical characteristics, services, prices, contact details (phone/messenger)
  • Photos you upload
  • Verification data you submit (see Verification & Safety page)
  • Subscription and payment status

Legal basis: contract performance (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR) and — for the published profile content — your explicit consent (Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR).

Photos: By uploading photos you confirm that you are the person depicted or hold the depicted person's consent to publication.

Contact details: Your phone, WhatsApp, Telegram and Viber details are never part of the public profile data. They are released only when a visitor explicitly requests them, and only through our server, so that they cannot be collected in bulk.

4.3 Payments

Listing on Escort Ellada is free. We do not collect payment data and we use no payment provider. Records of any payments made in the past are retained as required by tax law.

4.4 Contact & e-mails

When you contact us, we process your name, e-mail address and message to handle your request. Transactional e-mails (registration, approval, reminders) are delivered via Resend.

4.5 Phone verification & abuse prevention

Before a profile is submitted for review we verify the advertiser's phone number by SMS (via Twilio). We record the e-mail address, that phone number and a device characteristic. The device characteristic is a technical fingerprint calculated in your browser from settings your device reports (such as screen size, time zone and installed fonts); it is not a cookie and is not used for advertising or for tracking across other websites.

These entries make repeated sign-ups visible to us during the manual review. They no longer block a sign-up on their own — since 2 September 2026 every listing is free, so there is no one-time offer left to protect.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the directory free of duplicate and fraudulent listings (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Entries are kept for 24 months and are then deleted automatically. They are deliberately retained even if you delete your account. You may object at any time under Art. 21 GDPR using the contact details in section 2.

4.6 Visitor counting on profiles

We count how often a profile is opened and how often a visitor asks to see an advertiser's phone number. Advertisers see these figures for their own profile, and the weekly limit of a free listing is enforced with them.

We do not store the visitor's IP address for this. What is stored is a salted, non-reversible hash calculated from the IP address, the browser identification and the language setting, together with the date. It allows us to say "the same visitor as before, today" — it cannot be turned back into an IP address and cannot be used to identify a person or to recognise them on any other website. No cookie is set.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating the service, enforcing the limits of a free listing and preventing automated harvesting of contact details (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). These records are kept for 24 months and are then deleted automatically.

5. Cookies & Storage

We use only technically necessary cookies — no tracking, no analytics, no advertising cookies.

  • Session cookie (Supabase Auth) — keeps advertisers logged in. Deleted on logout or session expiry.
  • Locale cookie — stores your language preference. No personal data.
  • Age confirmation — stores that you confirmed being 18+. No personal data.

6. Third-Party Service Providers

We work with the following processors, each bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA):

  • Firebase App Hosting (Google LLC, USA) — hosts and serves this website. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in place. Privacy info
  • Supabase (Supabase Inc., USA) — database, authentication and photo storage. Data is stored in EU data centers. Privacy info
  • Resend (Resend Inc., USA) — transactional e-mail delivery. Privacy info
  • Upstash (Upstash Inc., USA) — rate limiting to protect against abuse; processes IP addresses briefly. Privacy info
  • flagcdn.com — delivers small flag images for language selection; your IP address is transmitted when these images load.

7. Data Retention

Account and profile data are retained while your account is active. You may delete your profile or request deletion at any time — profile data and photos are then removed. Billing records are retained for 7 years as required by tax law. Rate-limiting data is retained only for minutes to hours. Free-trial block-list entries (see 4.5) are kept for 24 months and are then deleted automatically.

8. Your Rights (GDPR Art. 15–22)

You have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), objection to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21), and to withdraw any consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

To exercise these rights, contact: info@kavala-online.com

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Greece, the competent authority is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA), www.dpa.gr.

9. Security

All data in transit is encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords are never stored in plain text — authentication is handled by Supabase Auth. Access to personal data is restricted to the site operator.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The current version is always available at this URL. For material changes, we will notify registered advertisers by e-mail.
