What Data Is Collected
Server Logs
The web server records standard access logs including IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days for security and technical diagnostic purposes and are not linked to any personal identity.
Contact Form Submissions
When a visitor submits the contact form, the name, email address, phone number (if provided), and message text are sent to info@gentlemarket.eu. This information is used only to respond to the inquiry. It is not stored in any database, shared with third parties, or used for any marketing purpose.
Cookies
This site uses one first-party cookie (gm_cookie_consent) to record whether a visitor has accepted or rejected the cookie consent banner. This cookie stores no personal data — it holds only the text value "accepted" or "rejected". It expires after 365 days.
No analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking scripts are present on this domain.
Legal Basis for Processing
Server log processing is based on the legitimate interest of the data controller in maintaining site security and diagnosing technical failures (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Contact form data is processed on the basis of the visitor's explicit submission, constituting consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Cookie consent recording is necessary to fulfil the legal obligation to document consent under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data Retention
Server logs: 30 days. Contact form correspondence: retained in email for a maximum of 24 months from last exchange, then deleted. Cookie consent record: 365 days from the date of consent.
Your Rights Under GDPR
Visitors have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of their personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@gentlemarket.eu. Requests will be handled within 30 days. Visitors may also lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
