What data we process

Browsing data. As with any website, the server hosting the site automatically records some technical data (IP address, date and time, pages requested, browser type) in its log files, for the operation and security of the service. We do not use this data to identify you.

Data you give us. When you contact us by email, WhatsApp or phone, we process the data you choose to share: name, contact details, dates of stay, number of guests and the content of your message.

The "Availability request" form does not send any data to our server: it only prepares a pre-filled message that you send yourself with your email app or WhatsApp.

Why we process it and on what legal basis

To reply to your requests and handle pre-booking enquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – pre-contractual measures).

To ensure the security and proper functioning of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest).

If you stay with us, to comply with legal obligations (e.g. guest registration with the public security authorities, tourist tax, tax and accounting obligations – Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

How long we keep it

Browsing data is kept by the hosting provider for the technically necessary time.

Enquiry data is kept for the time needed to handle it and in any case no longer than 24 months if no booking follows; data relating to a stay is kept for the periods required by law.

Who it may be shared with

The website hosting provider, OVH SAS (servers in the European Union), acting as data processor.

If you choose to write to us via WhatsApp or email, your message passes through the services of those providers (WhatsApp/Meta and Google), under their own privacy policies. Any transfer outside the EU takes place on the basis of the safeguards provided by the GDPR (adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses).

The competent authorities, only where required by law. Data is never sold or used for marketing.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies for profiling, statistics or third parties, nor any other tracking tools. For this reason no consent is required, in line with the Italian Data Protection Authority's guidelines of 10 June 2021. The website only stores one technical item in your browser (localStorage): the fact that you closed the cookie notice, so it is not shown again. The staff-only reserved area (/admin/), not intended for visitors, uses a single technical session cookie to keep the login, deleted when the browser is closed.

The website does not load content from external services (videos, social media, fonts). The Google map loads only if you press “Show the map”: before that click no data is sent to Google. Links to Google Maps, Booking.com, Instagram and WhatsApp take you to those sites only if you click them, and from then on their policies apply.

The availability calendar is updated by our server reading Booking.com calendars: none of your data is transmitted in this process.

Your rights

You may at any time request access to your data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and object to processing (Arts. 15–22 GDPR) by writing to podereilritorno@gmail.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (www.garanteprivacy.it).

Providing data

Providing your data is optional, but without your contact details we cannot reply to your requests.
