What we keep, and what we don't.

Who is responsible

The data controller for everything described here is Paolo Rivosecchi, Via Sandro Pertini 10, 10080 Vistrorio (TO), Italy — VAT number IT12835040010. No Data Protection Officer has been appointed. You can reach us at info@harmoniccircleacademy.org.

The short version

We collect only what you type into a form. There is no advertising pixel on this site, no cross-site tracking, and we never sell or share your data with anyone for their own purposes.

If you ask for a supported place, what you write goes to two people and is never added to a mailing list.

One thing about the supported-place form

That form asks about your financial situation. It is a free-text box, so people sometimes write about health or personal difficulties too. Please don't — we've said so on the form as well. A few words about your circumstances is all we need, and the less you write about health the less there is for anyone to look after.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. That's why you aren't being asked to accept anything.

Two things do load from outside: the typefaces come from Google Fonts, and videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode. A video sets nothing until you click play. If you do click, YouTube may set its own cookies under its own policy.

Who else touches your data

They act on our instructions and cannot use your data for their own purposes. Where any of them handles data outside the European Union, that transfer is covered by the safeguards the law requires.

What you can ask us to do

Write to info@harmoniccircleacademy.org and we'll answer within a month, usually much sooner. If you think we've handled your data badly, you can complain to the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.

If we change this page

We'll update the date at the top. If a change actually affects you — not a wording tidy-up — we'll tell you by email.
