About this site
What happens to what you send me?
I receive what the site's form sends and what you write in an email. Cloudflare, which serves the pages, also processes your visit, including your IP address; the pages set no cookies and run no analytics. This page says who receives what you send, where it goes, how long it's kept and how to have it deleted.
Who is responsible
Who is responsible for your data, and how do you reach them?
The controller of the personal data described here is Maximilian Berentzen ("I", "me").
For anything about your data, write to contact@cyprusrelo.com.
What is collected
What does the site collect?
What the form sends and what you write in an email, and, through the host that serves the pages, your visit. The form also sends a few fields you don't see, and all of them are listed here.
The form at the end of a page
- Your situation, as you chose it in the list.
- When you plan to move, as you chose it in the list.
- What you wrote about your situation.
- Your email address.
- That you ticked the box asking me to pass your enquiry to one relocation agency.
The form also sends the address of the page it's on, the site's name and a subject line for the email I receive. It carries one more field, hidden and left empty: a form that arrives with it filled in is treated as spam and ignored. Sending the form also gives Formspree your IP address.
An email to contact@cyprusrelo.com carries whatever you write in it, and your address.
Beyond that, the site's pages set no cookies, run no analytics, carry no tracking pixels and embed no content from other sites.
Sending
How does the form reach me?
Through Formspree, a service that receives form submissions and emails them on. Only your browser's JavaScript can send the form.
With JavaScript on, your browser sends the form from the page you're on straight to Formspree, and the result appears in the form itself: you stay on this site. If sending fails, the form says so and doesn't send it another way.
With JavaScript off, or if it fails, nothing is sent: the form stays switched off and says so, with contact@cyprusrelo.com as the way to reach me instead.
Formspree runs every submission through its own spam filter.
Processors
Who handles it for me, and in which countries?
Three providers handle what you send for me. Formspree and Cloudflare process data in the United States, outside the EU, and each names its own legal safeguard for that. To get a copy of the safeguards a provider relies on, write to contact@cyprusrelo.com.
Formspree
Run by Formspree, Inc., it receives the form you send and emails it to my mailbox. Sending the form also gives it your IP address, as any connection to a server does. Its terms call the sites that use it "separate and independent data controllers"; its privacy policy, in its notice to California residents, calls it generally a service provider of the websites that use it. It keeps log files of its own, under its own policy.
Outside the EU: it's hosted with Amazon Web Services in the United States. It says it relies on standard contractual clauses as a data processor. It was not on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework list on 11 October 2026. It uses further providers, all but one in the United States: Formspree's list.
Cloudflare
Cloudflare hosts and serves the site, and its Email Routing forwards email sent to contact@cyprusrelo.com to my mailbox at Proton. Serving a page means processing your visit, including your IP address. Cloudflare acts as my processor for the logs it shows me, and as a controller for what it keeps for its own purposes. It says its email forwarding stores and reads no message content. It logs whether each message was delivered.
Outside the EU: it stores data mainly in the United States and the EEA. For transfers to the United States it relies on its EU–US Data Privacy Framework certification, listed as "Active – Re-certification under Review" on 11 October 2026, and on standard contractual clauses should that lapse. Its data processing addendum is part of its terms for my account.
Proton
My mailbox is with Proton: what you send to contact@cyprusrelo.com, and Formspree's notifications of your form, arrive there. Proton is run by Proton AG, of Geneva, Switzerland, under Swiss law. Proton Mail stores data in encrypted form, on servers only in Switzerland, Germany or Norway.
Outside the EU: the European Commission recognises Switzerland as giving adequate protection, so data goes there as it would within the EU. Germany is an EU member state. Norway belongs to the area the Commission names alongside the EU for these transfers.
Recipients
Who else sees it?
Only the one relocation agency you ask me to introduce you to, and only if you ask.
When you tick the box on the form, or ask by email, I read your enquiry and, where it fits, write one email introducing you to one relocation agency in Cyprus, with you in copy. That email names the agency, so you know at once who has your details. What you wrote about your situation goes with it. From then on the agency holds your details too; how it handles them is for the agency to tell you.
What you send is never sold or rented to anyone. The only party it's ever passed to is the single agency you asked to be introduced to, and only when you asked.
If an enquiry doesn't fit, such as spam or a question that isn't about a move, I don't pass it on.
Why and how long
On what basis do I use it, and for how long?
An enquiry is kept twelve months after the last message in the exchange, then deleted; the exceptions are below.
Why I may use it
- A request to be introduced to an agency, by form or by email: I use it to take a step you asked for before any contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)). Ticking the box on the form is that request.
- Any other email to contact@cyprusrelo.com: my legitimate interest in answering you (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- The host's request logs: my legitimate interest in running the site securely (Art. 6(1)(f)).
How long it's kept
- Enquiries, by form or by email: twelve months after the last message in the exchange, then deleted from my mailbox and from Formspree.
- Cloudflare's request logs: as its own policy sets. That policy gives the criteria it uses, not a fixed period.
- Cloudflare's log of email deliveries to contact@cyprusrelo.com: likewise, as its own policy sets.
- Formspree's own log files: as its own policy sets.
- An enquiry passed to an agency: what the agency keeps, and for how long, is the agency's to tell you.
Your rights
What can you ask me to do?
Write to contact@cyprusrelo.com with any of these. Which rights apply depends on what you asked me for. Data Cloudflare holds about your visit counts too: Cloudflare directs such requests to the site.
A request for an introduction, by form or by email
- Access: ask whether I hold data about you, and have access to it.
- Rectification: have data about you corrected if it's wrong.
- Erasure: have it deleted, on the grounds the GDPR sets out.
- Restriction: have its use limited, for instance while you contest whether it's accurate.
- Portability: receive what you gave me in a structured, machine-readable form and pass it to someone else. The GDPR grants this where processing rests on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means; such a request meets both, because it rests on Art. 6(1)(b) and is handled electronically.
Any other email, and the host's request logs
- Access, Rectification, Erasure and Restriction, as above.
- Objection: object, on grounds of your own situation, to processing that rests on my legitimate interest.
Portability doesn't apply here: it doesn't cover processing based on legitimate interest.
Complaints
Where can you complain?
In Cyprus, to the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection. You may write to me first, but you don't have to.
Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection
Kypranoros 15, 1061 Nicosia
P.O. Box 23378, 1682
commissioner@dataprotection.gov.cy
You can also complain to the data protection authority of the EU country where you live or work, or where you think the breach took place.
The rest
Is there anything else you should know?
Giving me your data is voluntary. Without an email address I can't reply to you.
Formspree's spam filter sorts out what looks like spam in the form; beyond that, whether you get an answer, and whether your enquiry is passed to an agency, is decided by me, not by a program.
