GEORGE STROUMBOULIS · WEBSITE INFORMATION

PRIVACY POLICY

Effective and last updated: November 2, 2026

This policy explains how personal information is collected, used and disclosed through stroumboulis.com, George Stroumboulis's website, including its contact form, newsletter and podcast content. In this policy, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to George Stroumboulis and the team administering this website.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You provide information when you contact us, subscribe to updates or otherwise communicate with us. This can include your name, email address, phone number if supplied, inquiry type, message and any other information you choose to include. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through the general contact form.

When you visit, the website and its service providers can receive technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device details, referring page, approximate location derived from your IP address, pages viewed, searches, interactions and timestamps. Cookies and similar technologies support some of this collection.

2. HOW INFORMATION IS USED

We use information to operate and protect the website, respond to inquiries, manage correspondence, send updates you request, understand how content is used, improve the visitor experience, troubleshoot problems and meet applicable legal obligations.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, these activities rely on your consent, steps taken at your request, our legitimate interests in administering a professional website and responding to visitors, or legal obligations. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it for future processing.

3. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND DISCLOSURES

Squarespace hosts this website and provides website, form and analytics services. Google Analytics is also integrated to help measure website use. Form submissions and newsletter details are processed through the website's form, email delivery, mailing-list and storage services so we can receive messages and send requested communications. Hosting, content delivery, font and technical service providers receive information needed to supply their services.

Information may be disclosed to advisers and authorities when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, investigate misuse or resolve disputes. If the website or associated operations are transferred or reorganized, relevant information may be included, subject to applicable requirements.

Public podcast, blog and media pages also contain published guest names, biographies, photographs, professional links and recordings. Contact us if you have a privacy concern about material published on the website.

4. COOKIES, ANALYTICS AND LOCAL STORAGE

Necessary cookies support functions such as security, form submission and website operation. Analytics technologies help measure traffic and visitor activity. Google Analytics and Squarespace may process device identifiers and usage information for these purposes. The website also uses browser session storage to cache public archive information and improve navigation.

Use the cookie preferences available on the website to manage supported non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some features may function differently when cookies are restricted. Traditional browser Do Not Track signals do not provide a separate site-wide opt-out mechanism; use the available cookie controls and provider settings instead.

For provider information, see SQUARESPACE PRIVACY and GOOGLE PRIVACY. Google also provides a GOOGLE ANALYTICS OPT-OUT TOOL.

5. EMBEDDED MEDIA AND EXTERNAL LINKS

Pages may load media from services such as YouTube, Vimeo and Spotify. Loading or playing third-party content can share your IP address, browser details and interactions with that provider. Providers may use their own cookies or associate activity with an account you hold with them. Links to social networks, podcast platforms, guest websites and other external services lead to sites with their own privacy practices.

This policy describes this website's practices. Consult each provider's policy and controls for its separate processing of information. Using an external link or player does not give us control over that provider's systems.

6. EMAIL UPDATES

When you subscribe, we use your email address to send the updates you request. Email services may provide delivery, open and link-click measurements. You can stop marketing updates using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us. We may still respond to an inquiry you send or communicate about a request you make.

7. RETENTION, SECURITY AND LOCATION

Information is retained for the purposes described here, including correspondence, subscription administration, security and applicable recordkeeping requirements. The period depends on the type of information, the reason it was collected and legal or operational needs. You can contact us with a deletion request.

We use available administrative and technical safeguards, including encrypted website connections. No website, email service, transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Privacy laws may differ from those where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, those requirements apply.

8. YOUR CHOICES AND REQUESTS

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or a copy of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also be able to withdraw consent or complain to your local data protection authority. These rights can be subject to exceptions and verification requirements.

Send a request to the email address below and describe what you need. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity or authority. Please do not send identity documents or sensitive information unless specifically requested through an appropriate channel. We will address requests in accordance with applicable requirements.

9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our forms or newsletter. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information can contact us to request its removal.

10. POLICY UPDATES

We may update this policy as the website or its practices change. The date above identifies the current version. Additional notice will be provided when required by applicable law.
