PRIVACY POLICY


INFO ON THIS POLICY

This website www.cleliamattana.com, owned by Clelia Mattana collects some personal data from its users. Continue reading to get into the detail to know how and why your data is stored and used. This privacy policy was updated on the 24th of May 2018 in accordance with the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) law.


 

This privacy policy sets out how cleliamattana.com uses and protects any information that you give when you use this website.

I am committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should I ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement and only with your express consent, given by clicking on the cookies and privacy policy bar displayed the first time you visited this website.


 

When browsing this website I may ask you for the following information:


  • Name and job title
  • Contact information including email address
  • Demographic information such as postcode, preferences, and interests
  • Other information relevant to customer surveys and/or offers

What I do with the information I gather:


I require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

  • Internal record keeping.
  • I may use the information to improve my products and services.
  • To send you my newsletter about new products, special offers or other information which I think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.



Info on the Privacy Policy in compliance with the  GDPR (From the 25th May 2018)

– For EU Resident only –


 

This website currently uses the following third-party service providers that can also collect some of your data, more detailed info on the list below. This additional section is addressed to all the users coming from the EU community, in accordance with the GPDR law guidelines that are aimed to guarantee even more security and control over the private data collected and processed on this website.

Even if this law falls under the European community and affects only part of my audience, I think it’s important for all my readers to know how I will process most of their data as well.

For example, from now on whether a reader is from the EU or not, if they want to comment or contact me via the contact form, they all have to read and agree to these terms to be able to send the message as there is no easy solution to only show the consent button only to a certain audience. This sentence is NOT part of the privacy policy, but just my own opinion: I think that knowing that ALL of my reader’s data is secure and will never be shared (which is part of this policy) is a good thing anyway.

 


PLUGINS INSTALLED IN THIS WEBSITE THAT MIGHT COLLECT SOME PERSONAL DATA

A Plugin I use to allow you to contact me via a form on my website. I have several forms on different pages of the website but they all use the same contact form 7 coding. Data collected: Name, Surname, Email. To be compliant with the GDPR law, I implemented a box you have to click before being able to send me a message via contact 7 form.

By clicking the box on the form you are agreeing to the terms stated here.
