1. Who We Are & Data Controller
Accessible Greece ("we", "our", "us") is an independent non-profit accessibility portal aimed at promoting barrier-free tourism and verified accessibility information across Greece for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility.
For any questions regarding your personal data or to exercise your privacy rights, please contact our team at info@accessiblegreece.guide.
2. Information We Process
- Analytics & Browsing Insights (Google Analytics): Only if you give explicit consent via our Cookie Banner, we use Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID:

IP anonymization is permanently enabled and data is never cross-referenced for advertising or profiling. - Location Submissions: When submitting an accessible location recommendation, we collect venue details, accessibility features, photos, and your contact information (name, email, phone). Contact information is stored strictly for internal moderation and identity verification, and is never published or transferred to third parties.
- Contact Form Messages: Your name, email address, subject, and message are forwarded through Web3Forms to our team's inbox so we can respond to your inquiry.
- Technical Server Logs: Standard server requests logged for network security, diagnostics, and prevention of denial-of-service attempts.
