4. Legal basis for processing

Personal data submitted through the contact form is processed where necessary to respond to your enquiry and to take steps at your request before entering into a professional relationship.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Who has access to your information?

Your information may be processed by service providers that operate the website and its technical infrastructure.

This website is hosted using Wix. Wix may process visitor and contact-form data on my behalf as a service provider. Wix states that, when a site owner processes visitor data through Wix, Wix acts as a data processor for that data. 

Other third-party services may process information only where they are necessary for the operation, security or functionality of the website.

 

7. International data transfers

Some website and technology providers may process or store personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Where applicable, such transfers are carried out using appropriate safeguards required under applicable data-protection law. Wix states that international transfers involving its services are subject to applicable data-protection requirements and safeguards. 

 

8. Cookies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security and functionality of the website.

Additional, non-essential cookies, such as analytics or other tracking technologies, may be used depending on the services enabled on this website. Where required, your consent will be requested through the website's cookie settings.

Wix notes that websites built on its platform can contain both essential cookies and additional cookies introduced through features, analytics or third-party applications.

• request access to the personal data held about you;

• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

• request deletion of your personal data;

You may exercise these rights by contacting me through the contact form.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority. For individuals in Italy, this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
