Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10/07/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Pati Pami Studio collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit patipamistudio.com or contact us through it. This policy is written in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Pati Pami Studio – Francesca De Smet – ciao@patipamistudio.com – Partita IVA: 01772970081

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data only when you choose to provide it to us, specifically:

Contact form submissions: When you use the contact form on this website, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Analytics data: This website may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate location (country/region level), and device/browser type. This data is anonymised where technically possible. 

Cookies: This website uses cookies. Full details on which cookies are used and why are provided in our separate Cookie Policy, which works alongside this Privacy Policy.

We do not collect any sensitive categories of personal data (such as health, religious belief, or political opinion) through this website.

3. Why We Collect This Data (Legal Basis and Purpose)

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your enquiry — when you contact us via the contact form, we use your name, email, and message solely to reply to you regarding your enquiry or potential project. Legal basis: legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries, and/or steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.
  • To understand website usage — analytics data helps us understand which pages are useful to visitors, so we can improve the website. Legal basis: consent, collected via the cookie banner on this site.

We do not use your data for unsolicited marketing. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you explicitly opt in to one in the future.

4. Who We Share Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties.

We may share limited data with the following categories of service providers, only as needed to operate this website:

  • Web hosting provider — Hostinger, which stores website data on its servers.
  • Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) — for website analytics, if enabled.
  • Any third-party service that processes personal data on our behalf does so under its own privacy terms, and we choose providers that comply with GDPR requirements.

5. International Data Transfers

As Pati Pami Studio works with clients based in Italy and also internationally, and some service providers (such as Google) may process data outside the European Economic Area, any such transfers are carried out under appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, as required by service providers like Google under their own data processing terms.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data submitted via the contact form only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and, if a working relationship develops, for the duration of that business relationship plus any period required by Italian tax and accounting law. We do not retain enquiry data indefinitely for enquiries that do not result in a project.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format
  • Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority (in Italy, the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ciao@patipamistudio.com.

8. Cookies

This website uses cookies to operate correctly and, where applicable, to understand site usage. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the website footer. For full details, please see our Cookie Policy.

9. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16.
