Who We are
Our website is located at: https://drnikolabaros.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our site.
Comments
When visitors leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, for the purpose of spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/ . After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading files that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images posted on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
This website uses both essential and analytical cookies (Google Analytics) to improve functionality, statistics, and user experience. By using the site, you consent to the use of cookies.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We personally process all personal data. We do not share your data with third parties for commercial purposes. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Technical data (such as IP address, device type, and on-site behavior) may be processed through the following services:
- Hostinger – hosting and email server
- Google Analytics – analytics and using stats
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
If user accounts are registered (if this feature exists), the personal data provided in the profile is stored until the user deletes their account. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Data submitted through the contact form (name, email, phone number, message) is stored until the purpose of the communication is fulfilled or until you request that the data be deleted.

You have the right to request:
- access to the personal data we hold about you
