The HousePrivacy

One address, freely given.

This site holds one piece of personal information about anyone, and only if they handed it over on purpose: an email address, given to receive the Harvest Letter. There is nothing else. This page says what happens to it, and what the site does not do — which is most of what a page like this usually has to admit.

What this site does not do

The site sets no cookies — not for analytics, not for preferences, not for anything — and stores nothing on your device: no local storage, no session storage, no fingerprint taken from your browser. That is why there is no consent banner to dismiss. Consent banners exist because sites keep something on your machine; this one keeps nothing, so there is nothing to ask you about.

There is one measurement script, from Ahrefs, and it is the only thing on these pages served by anyone but us. It counts page views and records the width of your screen. It sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device, so it cannot follow you from one visit to the next or from this site to another. Ahrefs receives your IP address in order to serve the request, as any server does; they act on our instructions and may not use it for their own purposes. If you would rather not be counted, any tracker blocker stops it, and nothing on the site breaks when it is blocked.

Beyond that the site loads no third-party scripts: no Google Analytics, no advertising pixels, no embedded video, no social buttons. The typefaces are served from this domain rather than fetched from Google Fonts, so opening a page does not announce your visit to anyone else.

Our host, Cloudflare, keeps ordinary server logs of requests as any web host does. We do not read them to build a picture of any individual, and they are not joined to the letter list.

The Harvest Letter

If you enter your address in the letter form, three things are stored: the address itself, the moment you joined, and the page you joined from. Nothing more — no name is asked for, and none is kept.

The lawful basis is your consent, given by typing the address and pressing Join. You may withdraw it whenever you like, and withdrawing it is not made difficult.

The list is used for one thing: sending the Harvest Letter, twice a year — one at the summer extraction, one at the autumn pressing. It is not sold, not rented, not shared with advertisers, and not used to profile anyone. The addresses sit in a private data store on Cloudflare's network, reachable only by the house.

Leaving the list

Write to care@thymelia.com and say so. The record is deleted — not flagged, not archived, deleted — and you will hear nothing from us again. No account, no login, no form to find. If a later letter carries an unsubscribe link, that link will do the same thing in one click.

We keep an address until you ask us to remove it, or until it becomes clear the address is dead.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you may ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, ask for a copy of it, or withdraw your consent. Given that what we hold is an email address, a joining date and a referring page, most of those requests are answered in a sentence. Write to care@thymelia.comand we will act within one month.

If we handle it badly you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would rather you told us first, but it is your right either way.

Who we are

Thymelia is a UK house selling Greek foods. The address for anything on this page, and for anything else, is care@thymelia.com. A letter reaches a person, not a queue.

Changes

If what the house does with data changes, this page changes with it in the same breath — and if the change is material for anyone already on the list, they are told directly rather than left to notice.
