Privacy Policy.
Last updated: 5 November 2026
This page is a working draft prepared for Sentiero Italiano Events. Items marked [TO CONFIRM] need to be completed or checked by the business owner — ideally with a privacy professional — before the site goes live.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is Sentiero Italiano Events, VAT no. IT12482430969. Legal name of the business owner: [TO CONFIRM: full legal name / company name]. Registered address: [TO CONFIRM: registered business address, Italy].
Contact for privacy matters: info@sentieroitaliano.it · +39 328 620 30 13. No Data Protection Officer has been appointed [TO CONFIRM: confirm a DPO is not required].
2. What data we collect
Inquiry form. When you send an inquiry we receive what you enter: your full name, email address, the experience you are interested in (proposal or elopement), and — only if you choose to share them — your preferred date, destination, number of guests, approximate budget and your message.
Technical and security data. To protect the form from spam and abuse, we process your IP address and basic technical information about your browser and device at the moment you submit. This is used by our spam protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) and by short-term rate limiting. We do not use it to identify or profile you.
Direct contact. If you write to us by email, WhatsApp or Instagram, we receive the information you send through those channels.
Please do not include sensitive information (for example about health) in your message.
3. Why we use it and on what legal basis
- To answer your inquiry and plan your proposal or elopement — steps taken at your request before a possible contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
- To keep the website and the form secure — blocking automated spam, duplicate and abusive submissions — our legitimate interest in protecting the service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- To meet legal obligations, such as accounting and tax rules if we work together (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
We do not use inquiry data for newsletters or marketing. If we ever offer a newsletter, it will have its own separate, optional consent.
4. Who processes the data for us
We only share data with service providers that help us run the website and answer you, acting on our instructions:
- Cloudflare, Inc. — website hosting, the server that receives the inquiry form, the database where inquiries are stored (located in the European Union), the service that emails each inquiry to our inbox, and spam protection. Privacy policy.
- Keliweb S.r.l. (Italy) — hosts our mailbox info@sentieroitaliano.it.
- Google — we read and answer info@sentieroitaliano.it through Gmail.
- If you contact us via WhatsApp or Instagram, your data is also processed by Meta Platforms under their own terms.
When we plan your event, we may share the details needed with the professionals involved (for example photographers, florists or venues), only as far as necessary and with your knowledge.
5. Transfers outside the EU
Some of these providers are based in the United States. Where data leaves the European Economic Area, transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses [TO CONFIRM: check each provider’s current transfer mechanism].
6. How long we keep it
- Inquiries sent through the website form are stored in our database for 24 months and then deleted automatically. Copies in our mailbox are kept for as long as we are in contact and deleted when no longer needed.
- Data related to a booked service: for as long as needed to provide it and then as required by Italian tax and accounting law (generally 10 years for accounting records).
- Security data (IP address used for rate limiting): only in memory for a short time; it is not stored in a database.
7. Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable format (Articles 15–22 GDPR). Write to info@sentieroitaliano.it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian supervisory authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
8. Is providing data required?
Name, email, experience and message are needed to answer your inquiry; the other fields are optional. Without the required fields we cannot reply through the form, but you can always contact us directly.
9. Cookies
How we use cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy. You can change your choice at any time in .
