Privacy
This site belongs to Gia Santho, the music name of Georgia Chrysanthopoulos, who is responsible for how the information below is used. It has been built to collect as little as possible.
No cookies
This site doesn’t set cookies, use advertising trackers, or ask you to log in. There are no forms on it. The one exception is Spotify’s player, below, and only if you press Play.
Saved in your browser
A few small things are kept in your own browser so the site behaves as you’d expect. They stay there and aren’t used to identify you.
- That the opening animation has played, so you see it once. Cleared when you close the tab.
- Whether you’ve paused the rolling bands. Cleared when you close the tab.
- Your choice not to be counted, if you make it below. Kept until you change it.
Visitor numbers
To see how the site is used, it counts visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies or store anything on your device. What’s recorded is the page, the site you came from, your rough location (country, region and city, worked out from your internet connection), and your type of device, operating system and browser, plus clicks on buttons such as “Play” and “Listen”. None of it is tied to you or your IP address, and the short-lived code that tells one visit from another is discarded after 24 hours. See how Vercel handles this.
Server logs
The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses and the pages requested) to keep the site running and secure. See Vercel’s privacy policy.
Spotify player
Nothing loads from Spotify until you press Play. Then Spotify’s player opens at the bottom of the page; Spotify may set its own cookies and handles your listening under its privacy policy. Close the player at any time.
If you email Gia Santho or her bookings contact, your message is kept in that inbox like any other email.
Why, and who handles it
Visitor counts and logs are there to keep the site running and to see which pages are useful: that’s Gia Santho’s legitimate interest in running the site. None of it is sold or used for advertising.
Vercel and Google are based in the United States, so your information may be handled there under their data-protection terms.
How long it’s kept
Visitor counts are kept for 12 months, and Vercel may hold them for longer. Server logs can be seen by Gia Santho for a day; Vercel’s own copies follow its privacy policy.
Your rights
You can ask to see what’s held about you, have it corrected or deleted, or object to it being used. Just send an email and you’ll get a reply within a month. Visitor counts aren’t linked to you, so there’s nothing there to look up. If you’re unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
