2. What data we process and why
- Browsing data. The server hosting the site (Hostinger) automatically logs some technical data, such as IP address, date and time, requested page and browser type, to keep the site running and secure. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Data you send us. If you contact us through the form (which opens your email or WhatsApp), by email, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn, we process your name, business, contact details and the content of your message to reply and prepare a quote. Legal basis: pre-contractual steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). We keep this data for as long as needed to handle your request and, if we work together, for the periods required by tax law.
- Private consulting (Lounge membership). Questions you send us on Instagram or WhatsApp are processed only to answer you. Legal basis: performance of the service you requested (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
- Analytics and advertising. Only with your consent do we use Google Analytics and Google Ads (see section 3). Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
On your first visit a banner lets you accept, reject or customise optional cookies. Closing the banner with the X counts as rejecting. Until you give consent, Google Analytics and Google Ads are not loaded. You can change your choice at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page.

Data is never sold or disclosed to the public.
5. Transfers outside the European Union
Some providers (for example Google) may process data in the United States. These transfers rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, to which these providers are certified, or on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
6. Your rights
You can ask at any time to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict processing or to receive your data in a portable format, and you can object to processing or withdraw your consent (Arts. 15–22 GDPR) by writing to hboui63@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (www.garanteprivacy.it) or with the supervisory authority of your country.
