Cookies

The website is hosted by Hostinger which provides cookies that are used for analytics to track unique visitors. This is helpful to understand how the website is used and helps us demonstrate it is being used for finding funding. This also provides functionality in terms of remembering your previous visits and for example hiding the cookies banner when you visit again. The cookies are still optional: they are disabled by default unless you click ‘I consent’.

Data we collect

Personal information we collect:

When you visit the Histovista, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the installed cookies on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.” Moreover, we might collect the personal data you provide to us (including but not limited to Name, Surname, Address, payment information, etc.) during registration to be able to fulfill the agreement.

Why do we process your data?

Our top priority is customer data security, and, as such, we may process only minimal user data, only as much as it is absolutely necessary to maintain the website. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that it would identify any particular user of the system.

You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing any information, by which someone could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the website’s features, or you wish to receive our newsletter or provide other details by filling a form, you may provide personal data to us, such as your email, first name, last name, city of residence, organization, telephone number. You can choose not to provide us with your personal data, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the website’s features. For example, you won’t be able to receive our Newsletter or contact us directly from the website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us via histolase@gmail.com.

If you have any issues, complaints or queries about any data we hold about you or wish it deleted, please email us. The current website administrator as of November 2025 is Georgios Kallikas.

Any unresolved issues can be taken to the Information Commissioner Office:

Information security:

We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
