What data this site collects, why and for how long. In short: no cookies, no analytics, only what we need to reply to you.
This notice is provided under Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Italian Personal Data Protection Code (Legislative Decree 196/2003).

We have not appointed a data protection officer (DPO): for a business like ours it is not required. For any question about your data, write to the address above.
What data we collect
Requests from the site. The booking and events forms send us by email, to achille@piangevino.it, the details you enter: dates, masseria, number of guests or wedding guests, name, email address, message. The site does not store them: they only reach our mailbox.
Email and phone. If you write to us or call us, we use your details only to reply and, if you book, to organise your stay.
If you stay with us. We process the data needed for the booking and payment and, as the law requires, the details of the guests’ identity documents. We give you the details when you book or on arrival.
Technical data. The hosting provider automatically records some technical data about visits (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser type) for the security and operation of the site. We do not use it to identify you.
Why we use it, and on what legal basis
- To reply to your requests for information, availability or an event, and to prepare an offer: steps taken at your request before a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
- To manage your booking and stay: performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
- To meet our legal obligations: reporting guests to the police authorities (Art. 109 of the Italian public security law, TULPS), tax and accounting obligations, the tourist tax and tourism statistics, where applicable (Art. 6(1)(c)).
- To protect the site and keep it working: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
We do not use your data for advertising or newsletters, we do not sell it, we do no profiling and we take no automated decisions.
Do you have to give us your data?
No, it is your choice. Without the essential details, such as dates and your name, we cannot reply to your request. For guests who stay, identity document details are required by law: without them we cannot host you.
Who else may see it
- Aruba S.p.A., which hosts the site and our mailbox, as data processor (Art. 28 GDPR).
- The suppliers who help us work, such as our booking management software and our accountant, also as data processors.
- WhatsApp Ireland Limited, if you choose to write to us on WhatsApp: it processes data as an independent controller, under its own privacy policy.
- Booking portals, such as Booking.com, if you book through them: they are independent controllers too.
- Public authorities, when the law requires it: the police headquarters through the Alloggiati Web portal, statistics and tax offices, the municipality.
Transfers outside the European Union
We do not transfer your data outside the European Union. If you write to us on WhatsApp, the Meta group may also process it in the United States, with the safeguards provided by the GDPR (EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses), as WhatsApp’s privacy policy explains.
Cookies and browser storage
This site uses no cookies and no analytics or advertising tools. It saves only two technical items in your browser’s storage: the language you chose and, if you closed it, the notice that suggests a language. These are technical tools that do not require consent (Art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code and the Italian Data Protection Authority guidelines of 10 June 2021). You can delete them at any time from your browser settings.
External services
Fonts, photos and videos are hosted directly on this site: while you browse it, nothing is passed to Google or anyone else. Google Maps and WhatsApp open only when you tap the corresponding buttons, and from then on their own privacy policies apply.
How long we keep it
- Requests that do not become a booking: as long as we need to reply, and in any case no longer than 24 months.
- Bookings, invoices and receipts: 10 years, as the law requires for accounting records (Art. 2220 of the Italian Civil Code).
- Guests’ identity documents: we use them only for the mandatory registration and do not keep copies after sending the data to the police. We keep the transmission receipt for the period required by law.
- Technical data about visits: as long as needed for the security of the site, according to the hosting provider’s technical retention times.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict its use or to receive it in a readable format, and you can object to processing based on our legitimate interest (Articles 15 to 22 GDPR). Just write to achille@piangevino.it: we reply within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (garanteprivacy.it).
Changes
If we change the way we process data, for example when we switch on online booking, we will update this page.
