Types of Data processed
The following Data may be processed in connection with the use of this Website:
Browsing Data and technical logs: IP address, date and time of the request, page requested, outcome of the request, information about the browser and device, and other technical Data normally recorded by computer systems and the hosting service to enable the operation, security and maintenance of the Website.
Data voluntarily provided by the User: first name, surname, email address, telephone number and message content, when provided through forms on the Website or by contacting the Data Controller directly.
Data relating to cookies and statistical browsing: collected through Google Analytics 4 only with prior consent, as described below and in the Cookie Policy.
Data transmitted to Google Maps: when the User authorises the map to load or expressly requests to view it, the browser connects to Google services and may transmit technical Data to Google, including the IP address.
The Personal Data requested in the forms is necessary for the Data Controller to receive and manage the User's request. Failure to provide the necessary Data may prevent the Data Controller from responding to the request.
Purposes and legal bases of processing
Data is processed for the following purposes:
Operation, security and maintenance of the Website: processing of technical Data strictly necessary to provide the service, prevent abuse and ensure system security. The legal basis is the provision of the service requested by the User and, where applicable, the Data Controller's legitimate interest in the security and proper operation of the Website.
Responding to requests for information, contact or quotations: Data entered in forms or communicated directly is used solely to handle the request and any resulting pre-contractual matters. The legal basis is taking steps at the Data Subject's request prior to entering into a contract and, where necessary, the performance of a contract.
Statistics: Google Analytics 4 is activated only after the User has given consent. The legal basis is consent, which may be withdrawn as described in the Cookie Policy.
Displaying external content: Google Maps is loaded only following a choice by the User: by accepting non-essential services through the banner or by using the specific control on the Contact page. The legal basis is the consent expressed by the User through that choice.
The Website does not use Data collected through the contact form for marketing or profiling purposes.
Processing methods and security
Data is processed using computer and telecommunication tools and appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, disclosure, alteration or unlawful destruction.
In addition to the Data Controller, Data may be processed by parties providing technical services necessary for the operation of the Website and email, such as the hosting provider and the providers of the services described in this notice, to the extent necessary for their respective activities and in accordance with applicable law.
Place of processing and transfers to third countries
Data is processed at the Data Controller's premises and on the infrastructure of the providers used to deliver the services.
The use of Google Analytics 4 and Google Maps may involve processing of Data by Google Ireland Limited and other companies in the Google group, including outside the European Economic Area. Google states that, where applicable, it uses adequacy decisions, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or other safeguards provided for under European law, including Standard Contractual Clauses. For more information, please consult Google's privacy documentation.
Retention period
Data is retained for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account any legal obligations and the need to protect the Data Controller's rights.
In particular:
Data contained in requests sent through the Website is retained for the time needed to handle the request and any resulting professional or pre-contractual relationships, subject to any longer retention periods required by law;
technical logs are retained for the time strictly necessary for the security, maintenance and management of the hosting service;
Data processed through Google Analytics 4 is subject to the retention settings configured for that service and to the arrangements described in the Cookie Policy.
Contact form and sending communications
When the User uses a form on the Website, the Data entered is transmitted to the Website's server and used to send the request to the Data Controller's email address through the email system associated with the domain. The Data is not sent to external form-management services for those providers' own purposes.
Data processed through the form: first name, surname, email address, telephone number and message content, according to the fields actually completed by the User.

A map provided through Google Maps, a service of Google Ireland Limited, is available on the Contact page. The map is not loaded automatically before the User makes a choice.
The content is loaded when the User accepts non-essential services through the banner or expressly selects the control to display the map. Only after that action does the browser establish a connection with Google; this may involve transmission of the IP address and other technical Data and the possible use by Google of cookies or other tools according to its terms and notices.
The User can use the Website and consult the Studio's contact details without loading Google Maps.
