Privacy notice

English version updated: 10 November 2026

This notice explains how personal data is processed when you visit vittoriocazzadore.it or contact its owner using the published contact details, in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

1. Controller and contact details

The data controller is Vittorio Cazzadore, VAT no. 04946860238, based at via G. Murari Brà, 32, 37136 Verona, Italy. For information or to exercise your rights, email info@vittoriocazzadore.it or contact the certified email address (PEC) vittoriocazzadore@pec.it.

2. Data processed and purposes

Browsing and security

Visiting the website involves sending technical data needed to communicate with the server, including your IP address, requested resources, request date and time, and information about your browser and device. Hosting services may record this data in logs to operate the website, diagnose problems and prevent misuse.

The legal basis is the controller’s legitimate interest in making the website available and protecting its systems, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Enquiries and quotations

If you contact me by email, WhatsApp or telephone, I process the details you provide, such as your name, contact information, event date and location, musical preferences and message. These details are used to respond, check availability, prepare a quote and manage any subsequent service arrangements.

The legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or performing a contract, under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Correspondence unrelated to a potential contract is processed on the basis of the legitimate interest in responding to communications received, under Article 6(1)(f).

Legal obligations and protection of rights

If you book a service, necessary data is also used to meet administrative, tax and accounting obligations under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Documents needed to handle disputes or protect legal rights may be retained on the basis of legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f).

Contacting me does not automatically subscribe you to a newsletter or promotional mailing list.

3. Providing your data

Providing information in your communications is voluntary. Without contact details and essential event information, it may not be possible to respond or prepare a quote. Technical browsing data is necessary for communication with the website. Please avoid sending sensitive information or unnecessary personal data about other people.

4. Cookies, analytics and videos

The website does not integrate behavioural analytics, advertising pixels or profiling cookies. It does not use visitor identification systems for marketing purposes.

Images, fonts and videos are served by this website. Live videos play in your browser’s built-in player; no YouTube or Vimeo players are embedded. The opening video plays without sound.

Any strictly necessary technical cookies used for operation or security do not require consent. As no non-essential cookies or tracking tools are used, no consent banner is displayed. You can manage or delete cookies using your browser settings.

5. External links and WhatsApp

Links to WhatsApp, Facebook, SaxoTracks and Divima lead to external services. Loading this website’s pages does not embed those services’ content or tracking tools. Opening a link may send technical data to the destination service, which processes it according to its own privacy notice.

If you choose WhatsApp, that service also processes data about your use of its platform under its terms and privacy policy. You may contact the controller by email or telephone instead.

6. Recipients and service providers

Data may be processed by the controller and, within their respective roles, hosting, email and IT support providers, as well as professionals assisting with administration and accounting. Where required by Article 28 GDPR, providers acting on the controller’s behalf are appointed as processors. Competent authorities may receive information when required by law.

Personal data is not sold or publicly disclosed. You can ask the controller about the providers involved and any safeguards applicable to transfers outside the European Economic Area. External services you choose to use, such as WhatsApp, are also governed by their own privacy notices, which describe recipients and international transfers.

7. Retention

Enquiry data is kept for as long as needed to handle correspondence, quotations and any resulting arrangements. The period depends on the status of the enquiry and the need to document commitments. Data that is no longer required is deleted or anonymised.

Where a contract is entered into, administrative and accounting records are kept for the periods required by law, normally ten years for accounting records. Relevant information may be retained for the duration of a dispute and for the time necessary to protect legal rights.

Technical logs are retained according to necessity and proportionality for operation and security, and the hosting provider’s settings, unless further retention is required to investigate misuse or meet legal obligations.

8. Processing methods

Data is processed electronically and, where necessary, in paper records, with security measures appropriate to the risks and access limited to necessary activities. No decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects are made solely through automated processing. Visitors are not profiled.

9. Your rights

Subject to the conditions and limits of the GDPR, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing and portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interest on grounds relating to your particular situation. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.

To exercise your rights, write to info@vittoriocazzadore.it. Requests are answered within the time limits in Article 12 GDPR, normally one month. You may also complain to the Italian Data Protection Authority or another competent supervisory authority.
