Privacy policy

The data controller is Atelier Antonucci S.a.s., which runs Atelier Walter Antonucci Couture and the website atelierwalterantonucci.com, with registered office at Viale Regina Margherita, 23, 65019 Pianella (PE), Italy, VAT number 01962570683 (hereinafter "the Atelier").

For any question about this policy or your data, write to us at atelierwalterantonucci@gmail.com or call +39 085 972168. Given the nature and size of its business, the Atelier has not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO).

Browsing data

When you visit the website, the systems hosting it automatically record some technical information: IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, date and time of the request and response status. It is used to deliver the website and protect it from abuse, not to identify you.

Data you give us

Your name, phone number, email address and whatever you choose to tell us when you contact us or book an appointment: the occasion, the date of the ceremony, your preferences.

Images

Photos and videos of your moments, published only with the consent of the people portrayed (see Photos of your moments).

Please do not send us special categories of data (for example about health) unless strictly necessary. We do not carry out profiling or decisions based solely on automated processing.

We process data only for the purposes listed below, each based on a legal basis provided by art. 6 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR").

Answering your requests

Following up on requests for information received by phone, WhatsApp or email. Legal basis: pre-contractual steps taken at your request (art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Managing appointments

Scheduling, confirming, moving or cancelling appointments at the atelier and preparing to welcome you. Legal basis: art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Running the website securely

Delivering the pages and preventing abuse and cyber attacks. Legal basis: the controller's legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Visit statistics

Measuring, in aggregate form, how many people visit the website and which pages they view, in order to improve it. Legal basis: legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Publishing your moments

Showing photos and videos of ceremonies and events on the website and on our social channels. Legal basis: consent of the people portrayed (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Legal obligations and protection of rights

Complying with tax and accounting obligations in the event of a purchase and, where necessary, defending the Atelier's rights. Legal basis: legal obligation (art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) and legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Providing your data is optional; without essential contact details, however, we would not be able to answer you or schedule an appointment.

You can book by phone, on WhatsApp or online, through Google Calendar booking pages provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and, for some processing, by Google LLC (United States).

The calendar appears on our website only if you have enabled "Third-party content", through the cookie banner or the dedicated button; alternatively, you can open it on Google's website. Until then our website does not connect to Google's servers. You can withdraw your consent at any time from "Cookie preferences", at the bottom of every page.

On the booking page you enter your name, email address and, optionally, a phone number and a note. The Atelier receives this data to organise your appointment; Google processes it to provide the service and send you confirmations and reminders, under its own privacy policy. Once loaded, the service may use Google cookies and similar technologies.

Hosting

The website is hosted by Vercel Inc. (United States), acting as processor under art. 28 GDPR on the basis of a data processing agreement. Technical logs are kept only as long as needed for the security of the service. Vercel's privacy policy.

Statistics

We use Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and builds no profiles: pages visited, referring site, device type and country are collected in aggregate form only, and visits are told apart by a temporary code renewed every 24 hours, without storing the IP address. More details.

Fonts, images and videos

They are served directly by our website: viewing them involves no connection to third-party servers.

Google Maps

The map of the atelier is provided by Google and is loaded only if you have enabled "Third-party content", through the cookie banner or the "Show the map" button. From that moment Google receives technical connection data (such as your IP address) and may set cookies, under its own privacy policy. The "Directions" link opens Google Maps in a new window instead.

WhatsApp

If you message us on WhatsApp, the service is provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, which processes data as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. We use the conversation only to answer you and manage your appointment.

Email

Our mailbox is managed through Google's Gmail service. The messages you send us remain in the mailbox for as long as needed to handle your request.

Instagram and Facebook

The website contains plain links to our pages, with no plugins or embedded content: no data is sent to Meta until you open the link. On the platforms, the policies of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited apply.

In the "Your moments" section and on our social profiles we publish photos and videos of grooms, brides, families and guests we have dressed. We do so only with the consent of the people portrayed, obtained before publication; for minors, consent is given by the holders of parental responsibility.

Consent is optional and can be withdrawn at any time, with no consequence for the service: simply contact us using the details above and we will remove the images from the website and our channels as soon as possible. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of publication before it.

Images are not used for purposes other than those agreed, nor passed on to third parties.

Data is processed by the controller and by authorised, instructed persons. It may also be received, strictly as necessary, by:

• technical providers acting as processors, such as the hosting service;
• the providers of the services you choose to use (Google, WhatsApp, Meta), as independent controllers;
• advisers and professionals in charge of tax and accounting obligations;
• public authorities, where required by law.

Data is neither disclosed to the public nor sold, except for images published with the consent of the people portrayed.

Some providers (Vercel Inc., Google LLC, Meta Platforms Inc.) are based in the United States. Transfers rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for certified companies, and on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Commission (art. 46 GDPR). Certifications can be checked at dataprivacyframework.gov.

Contact requests

As long as needed to reply and in any case no longer than 12 months after the last contact, if the request has no follow-up.

Appointments

For the duration of your journey at the atelier (fittings and delivery of the garment) and no longer than 24 months after the last appointment.

Tax records

10 years, as required by art. 2220 of the Italian Civil Code.

Technical logs

For a limited period, normally no longer than 30 days, unless needed to investigate unlawful acts.

Published images

Until consent is withdrawn.

After these periods, data is deleted or anonymised.

At any time you may exercise the rights provided by articles 15–22 GDPR:

• access to your data and to information about its processing;
• rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• erasure, in the cases provided by law;
• restriction of processing;
• portability of the data you have provided;
• objection to processing based on legitimate interest;
• withdrawal of consent, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise them, write to us at atelierwalterantonucci@gmail.com or call +39 085 972168. We will reply without undue delay and in any case within one month of your request (art. 12 GDPR).

If you believe the processing infringes the law, you may lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Rome, garanteprivacy.it), or with the supervisory authority of the EU country where you live or work.

We may update this policy to reflect changes in the law or in the website and the services it uses. The version in force is always published on this page, with the date of the last update.
