5. Recipients of data and transfers to third countries

For technical and organisational reasons, some data may be disclosed to:

– IT and hosting service providers for the websites;
– newsletter service providers (e.g. Mailchimp), which store and manage the list of subscribers;
– online booking service providers (e.g. Calendly) for the management of appointments;
– payment service providers (e.g. PayPal, Stripe) in case of online payments;
– accounting and tax consultants, where necessary to comply with legal obligations;
– administrative, judicial or law enforcement authorities, where required by applicable law.

Some of these entities may be located outside the European Union or Switzerland. In such cases, the transfer of data takes place:

– to countries for which there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the competent authorities, or
– on the basis of appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or specific contractual commitments on data protection).

External providers process data either as data processors on my behalf or as separate controllers, according to their role and their own privacy notices.

6. Cookies and tracking tools

The websites may use:

– **technical (necessary) cookies**, which are essential for the functioning of the site (e.g. remembering your language choice, keeping a session open);
– **statistical cookies** and, where applicable, **marketing cookies**, which may be provided by third parties (e.g. traffic analysis tools or advertising platforms).

When you first access the site, a **cookie banner** is displayed that allows you to:

– accept all non-essential cookies,
– refuse them,
– or choose by category.

Statistical and marketing cookies, if used, are activated only if you give your **consent**.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time via the banner (if shown again) or through your browser settings.

More detailed information on the cookies used may be provided in a dedicated Cookie Policy or upon request.

7. Data retention

Personal data are kept for as long as strictly necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and, in any case:

– **contact data collected via forms**: for the time needed to handle your request and, if an ongoing relationship is established, for the duration of that relationship and the related legal obligations;
– **newsletter data**: until you unsubscribe (opt-out) or until the newsletter service is discontinued;
– **consultation data**: for the time needed to provide the service and to comply with accounting and tax obligations;
– **technical data and browsing logs**: for a limited period, sufficient to ensure security, the functioning of the site and the production of aggregate statistics;

Once the relevant retention period has expired, data are deleted or irreversibly anonymised.

8. Nature of providing data

– Providing data for **contact requests** and **consultations** is voluntary, but necessary in order to receive an answer or the requested service.
– Providing your e-mail address for the **newsletter** is voluntary and based on your consent; failure to provide it only means that you will not receive updates.
– Providing data required for accounting and tax purposes is necessary to comply with legal obligations when an invoice or receipt is issued.

9. Special category data

I do not ask you to provide, and I invite you **not to include**, in your communications:

– detailed information about **human health**, other than a very general indication;
– detailed information about the **health of animals**, other than a brief reference necessary to understand the context (for example: “senior cat with kidney issues”, without attaching medical reports or detailed clinical descriptions);
– political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs;
– data concerning your sex life or sexual orientation;
– data relating to criminal proceedings or convictions.

If you feel that it is necessary to mention sensitive situations (your own or your animal’s), please limit the information to what is **strictly necessary** to understand the energetic/relational context of the consultation, and avoid sending medical documents or full clinical records.

10. Processing of minors’ data

The services offered through the websites are aimed primarily at adults.
I do not knowingly collect personal data from persons under 16 years of age without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe that data relating to a minor have been provided without such consent, please contact me so that I can delete them promptly.

11. Data security

I adopt reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from:

– unauthorised access;
– misuse;
– loss, alteration or destruction.

Access to data is limited to people and providers who genuinely need it in order to perform their tasks, subject to appropriate confidentiality commitments.

12. Your rights

At any time, within the limits and under the conditions set out in applicable law, you may exercise the following rights:

– **Right of access**: to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed and, if so, to receive a copy;
– **Right to rectification**: to obtain the correction of inaccurate data and the completion of incomplete data;
– **Right to erasure** (“right to be forgotten”): to obtain the deletion of data in the cases provided for by law;
– **Right to restriction of processing**;
– **Right to object**: to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interest;
– **Right to data portability**: to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit them to another controller, where technically feasible;
