Privacy notice
This notice explains what personal data this website collects, why, and the choices you have.
Who is responsible for your data
This website is run by Stylianos Tilavgis, trading as The Travel State (thetravelstate), a luxury travel advisor with Fora Travel, based in Cyprus. For any privacy question or request, email stylianos.tilavgis@fora.travel.
What we collect
- Enquiries. When you use the contact form we receive your name (optional), email address and message.
- Messages. If you contact us by email or WhatsApp, we receive your contact details and whatever you choose to send.
- Newsletter. When you subscribe we store your email address and the date you signed up.
- Technical data. Like any website, our hosting provider processes your IP address and basic browser information to deliver pages securely and protect against abuse.
We do not use advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.
How we use it
- To reply to your enquiry and help plan your trip. This is necessary to take steps you have asked for before any booking.
- To send you our newsletter, only if you have subscribed. This is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
- To keep the website secure and working. This is in our legitimate interest.
We never sell your personal data.
Who we share it with
- Cloudflare, which hosts this website and stores form submissions on our behalf.
- Fora Travel, whose email service receives enquiries sent through this website.
- WhatsApp (Meta), only if you choose to message us there. WhatsApp’s own privacy policy applies to those chats.
If you go on to make a booking, your details are shared with the hotels, airlines and other suppliers needed to arrange your trip, and Fora Travel’s own privacy policy also applies. Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area; where they do, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are used.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless they lead to a booking.
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your email address.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive a copy of it, or to withdraw your consent to the newsletter at any time. Email stylianos.tilavgis@fora.travel and we will respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with how your data is handled, you can complain to the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus (dataprotection.gov.cy (opens in a new tab)).
