Privacy Policy

This policy explains how we process the personal data of visitors to pentastudiotecnico.it and of people who write to us through the contact form, under Article 13 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).

Data controller

Geom. Salvatore La Rocca – PENTA STUDIO
Via Elisa 46, 55100 Lucca (LU), Italy
Email: info@pentastudiotecnico.com

What data we process

Data you send through the contact form. Your name, email, phone number (optional) and your message. Please do not include data we don't need, especially health or criminal-record data.

Browsing data. Like every website, the server hosting this site automatically logs some technical data (IP address, date and time of the request, page visited, browser type). We need it to run the site and keep it secure; we don't use it to identify you.

Visit statistics. To know how many people visit the site and which pages they read, we use Vercel Web Analytics. It uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device: it counts visits in an aggregated, anonymous way, without keeping your IP address and without recognising you from one day to the next.

This site uses no profiling cookies and no advertising tools. See the Cookie Policy for details.

Why we process it, and on what legal basis

Purpose	Legal basis
Replying to your enquiry and, if you wish, preparing a quote	Steps taken at your request before a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
Carrying out the professional assignment, if you give it to us	Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
Meeting tax and legal obligations	Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR)
Running the website and protecting it from abuse	Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
Anonymous visit statistics, to improve the site	Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)

Filling in the form is optional, but without your name, email and message we cannot reply.

Who we share it with

We never sell or publish your data. The providers of the technical services we use may process it, only for the purposes above and as data processors:

• Vercel Inc., which hosts the website and provides the anonymous visit statistics;
• EmailJS, which forwards the messages sent through the form to our mailbox;
• the provider of our email account.

If you choose to show the map in the Contact section, your browser connects to Google (Google Maps), which processes data as an independent controller under its own privacy policy.

If you give us an assignment, your data may be shared, when needed, with the studio's professionals and collaborators, our accountant and the relevant public offices (town hall, Agenzia delle Entrate, etc.).

Transfers outside the European Union

Some providers may process data outside the European Union, for example in the United States. In that case the transfer relies on the safeguards provided by the GDPR, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries that lead nowhere: up to 24 months after our last exchange, then deleted.
• Data about an assignment: for the whole assignment and then for 10 years, as required by Italian civil and tax law.
• Browsing data: for the limited time set by the hosting provider for security purposes.

Your rights

At any time you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict its processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to receive it in a portable format (Articles 15–22 GDPR). Just write to info@pentastudiotecnico.com.

If you believe the processing breaks the law, you can complain to the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, or to the authority in your own EU country.

Your data is not used for automated decisions or profiling.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date of the latest version is shown at the bottom of the page.
