As a small company that does not carry out systematic large-scale monitoring nor process special categories of data (art. 9 GDPR), we have not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). For any privacy-related request, please write to us directly at the email address above.
Data we collect
We only collect the data strictly necessary to provide the service you request.
- Data you give us: property address, characteristics (floor area, room count, condition, energy class, etc.), email — when you fill in the valuation form.
- Browsing data: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, date and time — recorded in server logs for security and diagnostics.
- Cookies and localStorage: see the Cookie Policy for details.
- Preferences: your "I'm selling" / "I'm buying" selection, if you consented to functional cookies.
Purposes and legal basis
We process your data for the following purposes:
- Provide the requested property valuation service, compute the estimate and send it to you by email. Legal basis: performance of a contract (art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject).
- Communicate updates about the valuation or next steps. Legal basis: performance of a contract.
- Send newsletters or commercial updates, only if you gave explicit consent by checking the relevant box. Legal basis: consent (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), revocable at any time.
- Site security, fraud and abuse prevention, technical maintenance. Legal basis: legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Tax and accounting obligations (if a commercial relationship arises). Legal basis: legal obligation (art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
Data retention
We keep your data only as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected:
- Email and valuation data: 24 months from the last interaction, unless you ask for earlier deletion.
- Server logs: 12 months for security and diagnostics.
- Cookie consent record: 6 months (then we ask you to renew).
- Accounting documents (in case of commercial relationship): 10 years, as required by Italian tax law.
Recipients of the data
Your data is not sold or shared for third-party marketing purposes. We may share it with technical service providers acting as data processors under art. 28 GDPR:
- Hosting and database providers, to host the site and store the data (servers in Italy / European Union).
- Transactional email provider, to send you the estimate and service communications.
- Cloud storage provider, if you upload property photos (currently optional, servers in the European Union).
- In case of accounting or legal obligations, designated professionals (accountant, lawyer) and competent authorities.
International transfers
Our providers are mainly based in the European Union. When certain services (e.g. email provider) may involve a transfer outside the EU, we only use providers that adopt the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (decision 2021/914) or equivalent safeguards under art. 46 GDPR.
Your rights
At any time you can exercise the following rights provided by the GDPR:
- Access (art. 15): obtain a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Rectification (art. 16): correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure (art. 17): request deletion of data concerning you ("right to be forgotten").
- Restriction (art. 18): ask us to suspend processing temporarily.

- Objection (art. 21): object to processing based on legitimate interest.

Complaint to the supervisory authority
You always have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Italy this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (www.garanteprivacy.it). You can also turn to the supervisory authority of the country in which you habitually reside.
Data security
We adopt technical and organisational measures appropriate to protect the data: encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), database access controls, activity logging, regular backups. No system is 100% invulnerable, but we are committed to maintaining a level of security appropriate to the risk.
Minors
This site is not intended for users under 16 years of age and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe data of a minor has been processed, please contact us and we will remove it immediately.
