Data We Collect and Why

We collect personal data only when you choose to contact us:

• Name and email address — when you write to us by email to ask about a product or place an order.
• Phone number — when you contact us via WhatsApp.
• Order details — any information you share to describe your requirements (e.g. preferred wood, measurements, shipping address).

We do not use contact forms that automatically capture your data. You share your information with us directly and voluntarily.

Legal Basis for Processing

• Pre-contractual and contractual necessity (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — to respond to your enquiry and fulfil your order.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to keep records of orders and communicate with customers.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for analytics cookies, where you have given explicit consent via the cookie banner.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Contact and order data is kept for as long as necessary to complete your order and comply with Italian civil and fiscal obligations (generally up to 10 years for invoicing records). We do not retain your data for marketing purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be shared only with:

• Shipping carriers, solely to deliver your order.
• Google LLC, as processor for Google Analytics (see Cookie Policy below).

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
