We do not intend to sell or disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties, except as provided for in this Privacy Policy.
Collection of information
Our website collects certain information about visitors, even when they are not logged in. We may record your IP address, the URLs of the sites and pages you visit (before, during and after your visit to the Studiopenalebellavista website), the times and dates of those visits, information about the hardware and software you use and other information that may be available. We may also place cookies on your computer in order to recognise you on subsequent visits, to allow us to improve your experience on our website and to collect further information. You can change your settings or use other tools to prevent cookies from being placed on your computer. This may, however, result in reduced functionality and a less personalised experience on our website.
We may ask you to provide us with further information about yourself, such as your name, contact details, your organisation and other information that the Firm may use to identify you. Should you decide not to provide such information, access to certain features, content and services of the website may not be available.
Use of information
Studio Bellavista uses the information collected to improve your experience on our website by tailoring it to your interests and to help you choose the content and services that are most useful and of most interest to you. Information about the content you have visited and the services you have used, whether individually or together with information collected from other users, allows us to adapt our website, our products and our services so that they meet your needs and interests and those of other users.
The information you provide may also be used to keep you informed about events and particular products and services that may be of interest to you. However, we will not provide this information to third parties for such purposes. In certain cases, your information may be shared with a third party as part of a process involving such sharing that you yourself knowingly initiate.
We reserve the right to disclose any information obtained through the website to the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities, where required by law or by any government agency.
Transfer of information
Studio Bellavista may from time to time disclose information about you to carefully selected service providers with whom the Firm works for website hosting and other services. We will require those service providers to use this information solely for the purposes of those services or otherwise to use it in accordance with this privacy policy. Save as provided for in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties for any purpose, including marketing.
Additional services
Studio Bellavista may from time to time offer additional services through the website. In some cases, the additional services may be subject to different terms of use (established by the Firm), and your use of those services will constitute your acceptance of those alternative terms of use. Unless otherwise specified, the alternative terms of use will be regarded as supplementing this Agreement and, in the event of conflicting terms, this Agreement will prevail in relation to the website, our content and services, save for those services expressly included and within the limits expressly provided for by those alternative terms.

The transmission of data through the website, in whole or in part, and/or any communication by email does not constitute or create a lawyer-client relationship between the Firm and any of the recipients.

How is my data protected?
We are committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use industry-standard technologies to preserve the confidentiality and accuracy of the information you provide through the website. We have also adopted security measures in relation to our physical premises to protect the data you provide to us from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration.
As you may know, no transmission of data over the internet can be entirely secure. Accordingly, while we will make every reasonable effort to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that the information sent is free from unauthorised use or intrusion by third parties. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of your personal information or of your use of the website and accordingly we accept no liability for any damage or loss caused as a result.
We cannot guarantee that the website is free from viruses or malicious code and accordingly we accept no liability for any damage or loss caused by such viruses or code.

The website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the practices of those other websites. When you leave the website you should make sure that you read the privacy policies of the websites you visit.
What are my rights in relation to my personal data?
You have the right to ask us not to process the personal data you have provided for direct marketing purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by clicking the Unsubscribe button on any communication we have sent you, or simply by contacting us.
Where you have consented to the use of your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
If the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can tell us and ask us to correct or complete it.
You also have the right, with certain exceptions, to ask us to provide a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Where you have provided us with your data and it has been processed by automated means, you may ask us to return it to you in a structured, machine-readable format.
If you have a complaint about how we have handled your personal data, you can ask us to restrict the way in which we use your personal data while your complaint is being resolved. In certain circumstances you can ask us to delete your personal data if you withdraw your consent, if it is no longer necessary for us to use your personal data, if you object to the use of your personal data and we have no good reason to continue using it, or if we have not handled your personal data in accordance with our obligations.
Does this website use cookies?
In addition to asking you to submit personal information, we may collect information about you automatically during your visit to the website. This information is not normally personally identifiable and includes general information about your computer settings, your internet connection, your IP address, your browsing patterns, your geographical location and your username and password. We may collect this information through the use of cookies.
