Who handles your data
The data controller is Denise Ardito, violinist, based in Alcamo (Trapani, Italy), VAT number 02962870818. For any question about your data you can write to denisearditoviolinista@gmail.com.
What data, and why
If you use the contact form, I receive your name, email, phone number, type and date of the event, venue, moments, budget for the music and, if you add them, your message and how you found me. I use them only to reply and to prepare a quote: the legal basis is your own request (art. 6.1.b GDPR). Without these details I cannot prepare a quote; the message and how you found me are optional.
For how long
Requests stay in the site’s private archive, which only I can see, for 24 months at most: then they are deleted automatically. If your request leads to a booking, I keep the details needed for as long as our agreement lasts and for the periods required by law.
Who else sees them
Nobody receives them for marketing. The site and its private archive of requests are hosted by Vercel (the archive in a data centre in Frankfurt, Germany), and requests also reach me by email through Resend: both are technical providers based in the United States, processing data on my behalf with the safeguards required by the GDPR (EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses).
Visit statistics
To know how many people visit the site and which pages they read, I use Vercel Web Analytics, by Vercel Inc., which processes this data on my behalf. It collects the page viewed, the site you came from, your area (country and city), your browser, operating system and type of device. It uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device: to tell visits apart it uses a code derived from the request, which changes every day and is deleted within 24 hours. I only see aggregate statistics for this site, never combined with other data and never used for profiling, available for one month. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used (art. 6.1.f GDPR). I do not ask for your consent because the statistics are aggregate, concern only this site and are not used to profile you, following the approach of the Italian data protection authority’s cookie guidelines (10 June 2021). The data may be processed in the United States, with the safeguards of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. If your browser sends the “Global Privacy Control” or “Do Not Track” signal, your visits are not counted.
Cookies and third-party services
The public pages of this site use no cookies at all: no technical, analytics or profiling cookies. Technical cookies are used only in the private area where I manage the site, to sign in. The statistics described above use no cookies, and the fonts are served by the site itself. The Calendly calendar only loads if you open it with a click; from then on Calendly’s own privacy notice also applies, and Calendly uses its own cookies. Links to Instagram and matrimonio.com take you to those sites.
Your rights
You can ask at any time to see, correct or delete your data, or to restrict its use (arts. 15-22 GDPR), by writing to denisearditoviolinista@gmail.com. If you believe your data is being mishandled, you can complain to the Italian data protection authority (garanteprivacy.it).
