Privacy Notice

This notice describes how the European Web Solutions website handles information, based on how the site works today.

It covers ordinary page visits, contact enquiries, hosting, and outbound links. It does not describe products or services that are not present on this website.

Last updated: 8 October 2026

1. Who we are

This website is published by European Web Solutions (EWS) at https://www.europeanwebsolutions.com. European Web Solutions is a software engineering company specializing in enterprise AI, Liferay platforms and custom digital products. The public site records a presence in Athens, Greece and Sofia, Bulgaria, and a founding year of 2001.

The exact legal entity that acts as data controller is not published on this page. Privacy questions can be sent to info@europeanwebsolutions.com.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the website, the following information may be involved:

  • Technical request data needed to deliver a page, such as IP address, date and time, requested URL, and browser information. This is received by the hosting platform when you load a page.
  • Contact-form fields: name, email address, optional company name, and message. Those fields are required or optional as shown on the form.
  • Security for AI questionnaire answers: industry, company size, AI tools in use, governance concerns, whether controls exist, and a follow-up preference. Company name, contact name, and comments are optional. A work email is required only when you ask for a consultation or for information about EWS services.
  • If you email us directly, the content of that email and any address or signature information you include.

This website does not currently provide accounts, newsletters, payments, or an uploaded-file feature.

3. How information is collected

Page visits send a normal HTTPS request to the website. Submitting the contact form sends the form fields to our website's contact endpoint, which then creates an email to our team. Submitting the Security for AI questionnaire sends the answers to a separate website endpoint, which stores them and, only when you ask for follow-up, emails our team. Clicking a mailto link opens your own email application. Clicking LinkedIn, GitHub, or other outbound links takes you to those sites; those visits are not loaded automatically by this website.

4. Why we use information

Technical request data is used to serve pages and keep the site running. Contact information is used to read an enquiry and reply. Security for AI answers are used to review the governance topics you selected and, when you ask, to follow up with you. We do not use either form as a marketing-list signup, and this website does not run advertising or behavioural analytics products.

5. Contact enquiries

The homepage contact form collects name, email, optional company, and message. The website validates that name, email, and message are present and that the email looks like an address. On a successful send, the form is cleared. On failure, the page asks you to try again or email info@europeanwebsolutions.com.

The website does not store contact-form submissions in a database of its own. The enquiry is delivered by email through an email delivery provider (Resend) so the team can read and respond. Copies then exist in the email systems used to receive and reply.

6. Security for AI

The page at /security-for-ai collects the answers listed above so EWS can understand an organization's AI usage and governance questions, and can reply when a response asks for a consultation or for information about EWS services. It does not produce a score, and it does not ask for passwords, system credentials, customer records, or vulnerability details.

Each response is stored as a private JSON record in Vercel Blob, under a private path used only for this questionnaire. The storage URL is not public and is not shown to you. EWS staff who handle enquiries can review responses through a protected export that requires a server-side access token. There is no public admin page.

If you choose a consultation or service information, and you provide a work email, EWS also sends a notification through Resend to an EWS inbox. That email contains the submission reference, company name, contact details, concerns, and requested follow-up. Research-only responses are stored and are not emailed. Completing the form does not subscribe you to marketing email. A follow-up request is permission for that follow-up only, not for unrelated marketing.

Identifiable questionnaire records are kept for 12 months from the submission time, then deleted by a cleanup process that removes expired private records. A stored file that cannot be read as a valid response is not deleted automatically; EWS reviews it manually. To ask for deletion sooner, email info@europeanwebsolutions.com and include the reference shown after you submit, if you still have it. Deletion removes the stored record from the private store. Any hosting-provider backup follows that provider's own schedule.

7. Hosting and technical logs

The website is hosted on Vercel. Loading a page involves Vercel receiving the technical data needed to route and serve the request. Application error logs may also be written if the contact endpoint fails. Exact log contents and how long the hosting platform keeps them are set by that platform, not by a published EWS retention schedule.

8. Cookies and analytics

This website does not currently implement Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, advertising pixels, session replay, or similar behavioural measurement. A production inspection of the homepage found no cookies, localStorage keys, or sessionStorage keys written by the site, and no third-party analytics requests.

Hosting infrastructure may still apply strictly technical behaviour needed to deliver the page. This website does not currently display a cookie banner, because optional analytics and marketing cookies are not implemented.

9. Third-party services

The following services are involved in running this website:

  • Vercel — hosting and delivery of the website.
  • Resend — email delivery for contact-form submissions, and for a Security for AI notification when you request follow-up.
  • Vercel Blob — private storage for Security for AI questionnaire responses. These records are not publicly readable.

Outbound links to LinkedIn and GitHub are ordinary links. Those companies process information under their own policies if you choose to follow the link. This website does not embed YouTube, maps, social widgets, or CAPTCHA.

10. Data retention

Identifiable Security for AI questionnaire records are deleted 12 months after submission. A file that cannot be read is kept for manual review instead of being deleted automatically. Contact enquiries and hosting logs do not have a published retention period. Enquiry copies remain in the email systems used to handle them, including a Security for AI notification when one was sent. Technical logs remain subject to the hosting platform.

11. International processing

Hosting and email providers may process information in countries outside the European Economic Area. Specific transfer safeguards for those providers are not published on this website.

12. Your data protection rights

If the GDPR applies to you, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Those rights are not unlimited, and they do not apply in the same way in every situation. To ask about information EWS holds from this website, email info@europeanwebsolutions.com.

13. Complaints / supervisory authority

You may also complain to a data protection authority in the EEA country where you live, work, or where you believe a problem occurred.

Because European Web Solutions has a public presence in Greece, the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) is a relevant authority. Official site: https://www.dpa.gr. Complaint instructions: https://www.dpa.gr/en/individuals/complaint-to-the-hellenic-dpa. That page explains the HDPA portal and, for people who cannot use Taxisnet, an English email route at complaints@dpa.gr.

14. Security

The website is served over HTTPS. Contact-form handling is limited to the fields on the form and an email delivery step. Security for AI responses are written only to a private blob store and are exported only with a server-side token. That is a description of the current design, not a guarantee that processing is free of risk.

15. Changes to this notice

This notice may change when the website's technical behaviour changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
