ACCEPTANCE

By visiting and interacting with the Websites, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and accept that “Amélie Studio” collects, uses, and stores personal data gathered through the Websites in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not visit or otherwise use this Website, nor submit personal data to it, nor provide your consent when requested under applicable law.

1. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

In this Privacy Policy, the term “Personal Data” refers to any information that allows “Amélie Studio” to identify you (or a third party whose data you provide), directly or indirectly, including any information related to the purchase of goods or services, or that you choose to communicate to or share with “Amélie Studio” or third parties while using the Websites.
Personal data will be processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). “Amélie Studio” reserves the right to carry out additional data processing when required by law or within the context of investigations or legal proceedings.

2. PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED

2.1 Origin of Data

“Amélie Studio” collects personal data only when you voluntarily provide it—for example, when placing an order.

If you provide personal data belonging to third parties (e.g., family members, other customers or potential customers), you must ensure that those individuals are informed and have authorized the use of their data as described in this Privacy Policy.

2.2 Types of Data

Depending on the purpose, “Amélie Studio” may collect and use different types of personal data, including:

Personal information, such as first name, last name, gender, age/date of birth, country of origin, and any other personal data permitted by applicable law.
Contact information, such as address, email address, phone number, mobile number, and other contact data permitted by law.
Payment information, such as payment method (credit or debit card), if applicable, and passport number when required for tax or anti-money-laundering regulations.
Sales-related information, such as dates, products or services provided, place of purchase, product codes, amount, total sale value, VAT number, complaints, returns, refunds, or other sales-related information allowed by applicable law.

3. PURPOSES OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

Personal data provided by you or collected during purchase—such as basic personal data, contact details, purchase information, tax data, payment details, sales information, and any other strictly necessary data—will be used to:

Manage, administer, and process product purchases, sales and after-sales services, including administrative activities, accounting, returns, warranties, tax-free refunds (if applicable), fraud prevention, and communication with you (including by email) regarding any issues with order management or subsequent requests.
Comply with obligations required by laws, regulations, or EU legislation (including anti-money-laundering laws), and to establish or defend a legal claim.

Personal data provided when requesting a specific service (such as managing complaints or requesting information)—including personal, contact, and strictly necessary data—will be used to provide the requested services.

Providing personal data is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes; refusal would make it impossible to complete a purchase and/or fulfill a request.

Unless required otherwise by local law, processing data for these purposes—being necessary for contractual or legal obligations—may be carried out without requesting your consent.

4. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

“Amélie Studio” shares your personal data with suppliers and service providers acting on its behalf (as detailed below), under its direction or that of third parties. These parties will only receive the data necessary to provide the services and are not authorized to use it for other purposes.

4.1 Disclosure to Data Processors

When you purchase products or use online sales services, your data may be shared by the Website’s e-commerce provider with carefully selected third parties offering services such as order fulfillment, shipping, credit/debit card processing, or anti-fraud checks.

Your data may also be shared with third parties who monitor and analyze Website activity, host Website content, provide technical/organizational services, maintain customer databases, support marketing, manage email, market analysis, surveys, contests, prize events, or promotions.
These third parties may access, store, or process your data to provide services in Italy, in your country, or abroad.
Service providers are not authorized to use your personal data for any purpose other than fulfilling contracted services.

4.2 Disclosure of Personal Data

Your personal data may be shared with third-party payment processors and anti-fraud services acting independently as data controllers to provide online sales services.

In the event of corporate or asset transactions, customer data may be transferred as part of the transferred assets, based on Amélie Studio’s legitimate interest. Personal data will remain subject to this Privacy Policy unless you decide otherwise.

“Amélie Studio” may also disclose your personal data to third parties:
(i) when required by EU or Member State law;
(ii) in legal proceedings;
(iii) in response to legitimate law-enforcement requests;
(iv) to protect the rights, privacy, security, or property of the company or the public.

Where permitted by law, Amélie Studio may disclose data regarding complaints or misuse of the Websites when necessary to investigate, prevent, or act upon unlawful activities or fraud, or when Website use appears incompatible with its terms.

A full list of appointed data processors and third parties receiving personal data is available upon request (Section 13).

5. PROTECTION OF MINORS' PRIVACY

This Website is intended for a general audience; however, its services are intended for individuals 18 years or older. “Amélie Studio” does not knowingly request, collect, use, or disclose personal data from individuals under 18. If it becomes aware that it has collected such data, it will delete it.

If you are under the required age, please ask an adult (parent or guardian) to complete any purchase or request the needed service.

6. STORAGE, ACCESSIBILITY, AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data collected through the Websites is primarily processed using electronic or web-based tools.

Access is granted only to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, using multi-level access controls. Such personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations and expressly designated as data processors as required by law.

If “Amélie Studio” must transfer personal data abroad for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy—even to countries with different data-protection legislation—it will adopt measures ensuring compliance with European data-protection standards or local standards where data is collected, so that your data remains secure and confidential.

7. SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONAL DATA

Password controls, firewall technology, and other security measures are used to manage this Website. However, users should be aware that 100% security cannot be guaranteed.
You provide your personal data at your own risk, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, “Amélie Studio” is not liable for unauthorized disclosure caused by third-party errors or actions during or after transmission.

You are encouraged to regularly update security software (e.g., antivirus) and ensure your electronic communications provider has adequate safeguards (e.g., firewalls, spam filters).

If “Amélie Studio” believes that the security of your data has been or may have been compromised, you will be informed as required by law, including by electronic communication if you have provided your email address.

8. RIGHTS OF ACCESS TO PERSONAL DATA – MANAGEMENT OF CHOICES

8.1 Your Rights

At any time and free of charge, you may:

receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller (data portability);

You may update your data by contacting “Amélie Studio” at the address below.
Requests for deletion are subject to applicable legal and document-retention requirements.

If you believe your data is being mismanaged, you have the right to file a complaint with your national data-protection authority or any EU/EEA country authority.

9. DATA RETENTION

Personal data will be retained for the duration of the commercial relationship and as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. After this period, data will be retained only to comply with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g., 10 years for accounting; mandatory retention periods for tax purposes, etc.) or to allow “Amélie Studio” to maintain evidence of rights and obligations.

10. LINKS, ADVERTISERS, SPONSORS, AND ADVERTISING

This Website may contain links to third-party websites. If you choose to provide personal data on such linked sites, that information will be subject to their own privacy and security policies—including Websites run by authorized distributors of “Amélie Studio”—and not this Privacy Policy.

Since “Amélie Studio” is not responsible for data collected, used, or disclosed by third-party websites, you should review their privacy notices.
