Last updated: 7. February 2025

Welcome to Silvana Saveri 's Privacy Policy. We believe in being upfront about how we handle your information, so we've created this page to explain exactly how we safeguard your information and respect your digital rights.

This Privacy Policy explains how Silvana Saveri (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit or use www.silvanasaveri.com (the “Website”), in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection laws. We handle your data with the same care we'd want for our own information. This policy explains what information we gather, why we need it, and how we put it to use.

2. Hosting (Squarespace)

This Website is hosted by Squarespace, Inc.,
225 Varick Street, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10014, USA.

Squarespace processes personal data on our behalf as a data processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. Personal data may be stored on servers located outside the European Union. Appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, are in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a secure and reliable website).

When you visit our Website, Squarespace automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which may include:

  • IP address

  • Date and time of access

  • Browser type and version

  • Operating system

  • Referrer URL

This data is processed to ensure website security and technical stability and is not combined with other data sources.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies (Squarespace Cookie Banner)

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device.

Squarespace’s built-in cookie banner distinguishes between the following categories:

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the operation of the Website and cannot be disabled. They enable basic functions such as security, network management, and accessibility.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

Non-Essential Cookies (Analytics and Marketing)

Non-essential cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website and improve our services. These cookies are set only after you have given your explicit consent via the Squarespace cookie banner.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

You can give, refuse, or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings available through the cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings.

5. Google Analytics

This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how visitors use the Website. The information generated may include:

  • Anonymized IP address

  • Browser and device information

  • Pages visited and interaction data

We use IP anonymization, meaning your IP address is shortened within the EU or EEA before further processing.

Google Analytics is activated only after you have given your consent via the Squarespace cookie banner.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

You may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your cookie preferences via the cookie banner.

6. Cookie Storage Duration

Cookies may be stored for different periods:

  • Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until they expire or are deleted manually.

The specific storage duration depends on Squarespace and third-party providers such as Google.

7. Contact Forms

If you contact us using a form on the Website, we process the personal data you provide (e.g. name, email address, message).

This data is used exclusively to respond to your inquiry and will not be shared without your consent.

Legal basis:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures), or

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).

8. Newsletter (Mailchimp)

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address and any additional information you voluntarily provide.

The newsletter is sent using Mailchimp, a service provided by Intuit Inc.,
2700 Coast Ave, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Mailchimp acts as a data processor. Personal data may be transferred to the United States. This transfer is safeguarded by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

We use a double opt-in procedure to confirm newsletter subscriptions.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in each newsletter.

Newsletter subscription is independent from cookie consent.

8a. Appointment Scheduling (Calendly)

This Website offers the possibility to book appointments via Calendly, an online scheduling service provided by:

Calendly LLC
1315 Peachtree St NE
Atlanta, GA 30309
USA

When you book an appointment using Calendly, personal data is processed, in particular:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number (if provided)

  • Appointment details (date, time, selected service)

  • Any information you voluntarily enter in the booking form

The processing of this data is necessary for the organization, execution, and management of appointments.

Calendly acts as a data processor on our behalf pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. A corresponding data processing agreement has been concluded.

Calendly processes personal data partly on servers located in the United States. Data transfers to third countries take place on the basis of standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR. Despite these safeguards, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities may access personal data.

Calendly may use cookies or similar technologies that are technically necessary for the booking process. If Calendly is embedded on the Website, data may already be transmitted to Calendly when the booking page is accessed. Appointments are booked only upon your active interaction and submission of the booking form.

Legal basis for processing:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures), or

  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), where applicable.

Further information on data processing by Calendly can be found in Calendly’s privacy policy.

9. Data Recipients

Personal data is disclosed only where necessary and in compliance with statutory data protection requirements, in particular to:

  • Hosting and IT service providers (e.g. Squarespace)

  • Analytics providers (Google Analytics, subject to consent)

  • Newsletter service providers (Mailchimp)

  • Scheduling and booking service providers (Calendly)

  • Public authorities or courts, where we are legally obliged to do so

All service providers act either as data processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR or as independent controllers and are contractually obligated to comply with applicable data protection laws.

Where personal data is transferred to third countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, this takes place only on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 44 et seq. GDPR, in particular standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

10. Data Retention

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by statutory retention obligations.
