For any request concerning the processing of personal data, the Data Controller can be contacted at the e-mail address indicated above.

2. Types of Data Processed

Browsing the website may involve the processing of the following categories of data.

2.1 Browsing Data

The IT systems and software procedures used to operate the website acquire, during their normal operation, certain information whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

By way of example, this category may include:

  • IP addresses;

  • information relating to the browser and device used;

  • referring and destination URLs;

  • information relating to the connection and technical events;

Such information is not collected for the purpose of being directly associated with identified users, but due to its nature it could enable user identification through processing and association with data held by third parties.

Browsing data are processed primarily to ensure the proper operation of the website, guarantee system security and prevent any abuse or unlawful activity.

3. Data Voluntarily Provided by the User

The website does not contain contact forms, booking forms, registration systems, reserved areas or newsletters.

However, users may independently decide to contact the Data Controller using the contact details published on the website, for example by:

  • telephone.

In such cases, the Data Controller may process the personal data contained in the communication, such as, by way of example, name, e-mail address, telephone number and any other information voluntarily provided by the user.

Processing will be limited to what is necessary to respond to the request received and to manage any relationship resulting from such request.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

A. Website Operation and Security

To ensure the proper technical operation of the website, the security of the infrastructure and the prevention of fraudulent or unlawful activities.

Legal basis: the legitimate interest of the Data Controller pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, within the limits in which such interest does not override the rights and freedoms of the data subject.

B. Management of Requests Received by E-mail or Telephone

To respond to requests voluntarily submitted by the user and, where applicable, to take pre-contractual measures requested by the data subject.

Legal basis: the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and, where such legal basis is not applicable, the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in managing received requests.

C. Management of Third-Party Services

The website incorporates an interactive map provided through Google Maps. This service is configured so that it is not activated before the user has given the required consent through the consent management system.

Legal basis: the consent of the data subject pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where the service involves processing or the use of non-technical tools subject to consent.

D. Management of Cookie Preferences

The website uses a consent management system provided by Usercentrics, aimed at recording and managing user preferences regarding cookies and other tracking technologies.

5. Google Maps

The website uses an interactive map provided by Google Maps to display the location of the business.

Google Maps is a service provided by Google and may involve the disclosure to Google of technical information relating to the user's connection and device.

The map is configured so that the relevant service is blocked before consent is obtained, where consent is required.

Google states that its services, including Google Maps content embedded in third-party websites, may involve the processing of information such as IP address, browser information, device information and interaction with the service. (policies.google.com)

Google also states that, for international transfers of personal data, it adopts the mechanisms provided for by applicable legislation, including, where relevant, participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the use of Standard Contractual Clauses. (policies.google.com)

For further information, users are invited to consult the privacy notices published by Google.

The mere presence of a hyperlink does not, in itself, involve the embedding of the Instagram service within the website.

When the user selects the link and accesses the Instagram platform, data processing is carried out in accordance with the terms and privacy notices of Meta/Instagram and not under this Privacy Policy.

7. Wine Product Sheets

The website allows users to view or download information sheets relating to the wines.

The documents are uploaded directly to the Wix infrastructure and do not require users to complete forms or enter personal data.

Viewing or downloading the information sheets may involve the processing of technical data necessary to fulfil the request, in accordance with the methods of the technological infrastructure used.

8. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for the operation of the Wix platform, security, management of preferences and provision of requested services.

Any non-essential cookies or technologies are used exclusively in accordance with the consent preferences expressed by the user through the consent management system.

For detailed information on cookie categories, their respective purposes, duration and providers, please refer to the website's Cookie Policy.

The Italian Data Protection Authority distinguishes, among other things, technical cookies and identifiers from those used for additional purposes, for which user consent may be required. (garanteprivacy.it)

Appropriate technical and organizational measures are adopted according to the nature of the data processed and the risks associated with the processing.

11. Recipients of the Data

Personal data may be processed, within the limits of their respective responsibilities, by parties providing services necessary for the technical management of the website and its related functionalities.

12. Transfer of Data to Third Countries

Some technology providers used to manage the website may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Such transfers, where applicable, are carried out in compliance with the conditions set out by the GDPR and on the basis of applicable legal mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms provided for by applicable legislation.

For specific information concerning transfers carried out by individual providers, please refer to their respective privacy notices and contractual documentation.

13. Data Retention Period
