This privacy policy applies to Visit Acropolis (hereinafter referred to as "Visit Acropolis," "we," or "us"). We are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you provide through our website and to safeguarding your privacy. In this policy, we explain what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may share it with third parties.

Our Terms and Conditions, together with this Privacy Policy, outline the rules governing the use of our website. Depending on your activities while visiting, you may be asked to agree to additional service terms.
Website Visitors
Like most websites, we collect non-personally identifiable information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. This data helps us better understand how our site is used and improve our services.
Visit Acropolis may also collect potentially personally identifiable information, such as IP addresses of logged-in users and of visitors who submit a form or leave a review. We disclose such information only when necessary for the purpose it was collected (for example, fraud prevention or customer service).
Collection of Personal Data
Some visitors to our website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to collect personally identifiable information. The type and amount of information depend on the interaction. For example:
- When you purchase tickets for the Acropolis Museum or the Acropolis archaeological site, we ask for your name, email address, billing and delivery address, and payment details.
- When you sign up for our newsletter, we only require your email address.
Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to an external website.
