We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us via the contact form on www.luxury-method.com/contact:

• Full name

• Message content (any text you include in the message field)

We also collect limited technical data automatically for site operation (only if present): IP address and basic technical details logged by Google Sites hosting. We do not use analytics or tracking cookies on the site).

2. How we collect data

• Contact form: when you submit the contact form, your message is delivered to our email address and the submission is stored in a Google Sheet for internal management and follow-up.

• Emails: if you email us directly, those emails are stored in our mailbox.

• No other tools: we do not use third-party marketing platforms, pixels, heatmaps, or analytics services on the site.

3. Purposes of processing and legal basis

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries and messages and to carry out pre-contractual measures you request (Legal basis: performance of pre-contractual steps / consent when you send the form).

• To manage and administrate communications (Legal basis: legitimate interest in maintaining client communications).

• To comply with legal obligations (e.g., accounting/tax requirements) if applicable.

We do not use your data for automated profiling, marketing, or sales lists unless you explicitly agree otherwise.

4. How long we keep your data (retention)

• Contact form submissions and related email correspondence are retained for up to 24 months from the date of contact, unless you request earlier deletion.

• If a contractual relationship is established, we will retain records for the period required by law (e.g., tax/accounting obligations) and as necessary for the performance of the contract.

• You may request deletion or restriction of processing at any time (see “Your rights” below).

If you prefer a different retention period, contact us and we will evaluate your request.

5. Recipients and third-party processors

We do not sell or rent personal data.

We use the following third-party service providers as processors to handle data on our behalf:

• Google LLC — for email (Gmail/Google Workspace) and Google Sheets where form submissions are stored. Google acts as a data processor under its agreements with us. Data processed by Google may be stored on servers outside the EEA; appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections) are in place via Google’s standard contractual mechanisms.

No other third-party marketing or analytics providers are used on the site.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses only essential/technical cookies required for the operation of Google Sites (if any). We do not use analytics, marketing, or profiling cookies. 

7. Data security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Where data is stored or processed by third parties (Google), those providers also implement security measures and operate under their published policies.

• Request erasure (“right to be forgotten”) where applicable.

• Request restriction of processing.

• Object to processing where the legal basis is our legitimate interest.

• Request portability of certain data you provided to us.

• Withdraw consent at any time when processing is based on consent (withdrawal does not affect processing carried out prior to withdrawal).

• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Italy: Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) if you believe your rights have been violated.
