Controller

The website northgardenpaper.eu is operated from: Via del Giardino 12, 50123 Florence, Italy. Contact: contact@northgardenpaper.eu.

Data Collected

This is a static informational website. It does not operate a user account system, newsletter subscription, or e-commerce function. The only personal data collected is:

  • Contact form submissions: Name, email address, phone number (optional), and message content submitted via the contact form on the homepage. This data is received by the site operator and used only to respond to the inquiry. It is not shared with third parties.
  • Server access logs: Standard web server logs record IP address, browser type, referrer URL, and pages visited. These logs are retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes and are not used for profiling.

Cookies

This site uses a single first-party cookie stored via localStorage in your browser to record whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie notice. This is a functional preference store — it contains no personally identifying information. It persists until you clear your browser storage.

No third-party advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies are set by this site.

External Services

Images displayed on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons servers (upload.wikimedia.org). When your browser loads a page containing these images, a request is sent to Wikimedia servers. Wikimedia's own privacy policy applies to that interaction: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). Google's privacy policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.

No other third-party scripts or tracking services are embedded in this site.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Contact form data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (responding to an inquiry initiated by the visitor). Access log data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (security and operation of the website).

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to respond to the inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter (generally no more than 12 months). Server access logs are retained for up to 30 days. LocalStorage preference data remains in your browser until cleared.

Under the GDPR and applicable Italian data protection law (Legislative Decree 196/2003 as amended), you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held about you. To exercise these rights, contact: contact@northgardenpaper.eu.
