We collect the following types of personal data:
Data You Provide Voluntarily:
Email Address: We collect your email address only when you voluntarily provide it to us through the sign-up form on our Site.
Data Collected Automatically (Device and Usage Information):
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect limited technical information about your device and browsing actions. This may include your IP address, browser type, time zone setting, operating system, and information about your interaction with the Site (e.g., pages visited, time spent). This information is primarily collected using cookies and similar technologies (see Section 8: Cookies). Some of this data may be used for basic website functionality and security. Data used for analytics is processed based on your consent.
4. Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on the following lawful grounds:
Consent: We process your Email Address based on your explicit Consent, which you provide by actively opting in (e.g., ticking an unchecked box) via our sign-up form before submitting your information. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
Consent: We process data collected via Analytics Cookies based on your Consent, obtained through our Cookie Banner before these cookies are placed on your device.
Legitimate Interests: We may process some automatically collected technical data based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the security and proper functioning of our Site, and to prevent abuse. We only do this when our interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
5. Why We Process Your Data (Purpose of Processing)
We use your personal data for the following specific purposes:
To Manage Our Interest List (Based on Consent): To collect and manage a list of individuals interested in Naxos Beachwear.
To Communicate with You (Based on Consent): To send you emails regarding:
Updates on the development and progress of Naxos Beachwear products.
Invitations to potential beta testing programs.
Invitations for Surveys.
Notifications about the official launch of Naxos Beachwear.
Other relevant news directly related to the Naxos Beachwear product you expressed interest in.
To Analyze and Improve Our Site (Based on Consent for Analytics Cookies / Legitimate Interest for Basic Functionality): To understand how visitors use our Site using basic analytics, allowing us to improve the user experience, content, and functionality. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized where possible.

6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it:
Email Address: We will retain your email address, collected based on your consent, for as long as it is necessary for the purpose of keeping you informed about Naxos Beachwear's progress, launch, and related updates. This means we will typically retain it until the product line is launched and initial communications are complete, or until you withdraw your consent. If the Naxos Beachwear project does not proceed, we will delete your email address within a reasonable timeframe after that decision is made. We will periodically review (e.g., every 24 months) the necessity of retaining our email list and delete data that is no longer required for the stated purpose.
Analytics Data: Data collected via analytics cookies is retained according to the configuration of the analytics tool used (e.g., Google Analytics allows setting retention periods, often 14 or 26 months), or until it is no longer needed for aggregated analysis, after which it is typically anonymized or deleted.
You can request the deletion of your email address at any time by withdrawing your consent (see Section 7).
