How we handle personal data
This notice explains which personal data we collect through this site, why we process it, how long we keep it and which rights you can exercise. It is given under articles 13 and 14 of Regulation EU 2016 679 and under Italian Legislative Decree 196 2003 as amended by Legislative Decree 101 2018.
Last updated: 13 August 2026
Data controller
The data controller is Toroidal Winding di Antonio Perin, registered at Via Ada Negri 8, 20841 Carate Brianza MB, Italia.

We have not appointed a data protection officer because the conditions in article 37 of the Regulation do not apply. For any privacy matter write to the address above.
Which data we process
We process only data you give us yourself, plus the technical data any web server records in order to work.
Data you send us
- Name, company, email address and telephone number, when you fill in the quotation form or write to us.
- The content of the request, that is the technical data of the part you want built and anything else you decide to add.
Technical browsing data
- IP address, date and time of the request, page requested, browser type and operating system. These are web server logs, recorded automatically by the hosting provider.
Data we do not process
- We use no profiling cookies, we run no visitor analytics, we build no advertising profiles and we load no third party pixels.
- We do not ask for and do not want special categories of data under article 9 of the Regulation. Please do not enter them into the form.
Why we process data and on which legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Answering a quotation or information request | Article 6.1.b, pre contractual steps at your request | 24 months from last contact |
| Managing the commercial relationship and the supply | Article 6.1.b, performance of a contract | Duration of the relationship |
| Tax, accounting and batch traceability obligations | Article 6.1.c, legal obligation | 10 years |
| Site security and technical diagnostics | Article 6.1.f, legitimate interest in keeping the service secure | Up to 12 months in the provider logs |
| Defence of a legal claim | Article 6.1.f, legitimate interest | Until the limitation period expires |
Providing the data marked as required in the form is necessary for us to answer you. Without it we cannot prepare a quotation. Every other field is optional.
Who we share data with
Data is neither sold nor transferred to anyone. It is handled by the controller and by a small number of suppliers acting as processors under article 28 of the Regulation.
| Supplier | Service | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger International Ltd | Site hosting and server logs | European Union |
| Web3Forms | Forwarding the contact form to our mailbox | United States, under standard contractual clauses |
| Email provider | Receiving and storing requests | European Union |
| Accountant | Administrative obligations on supplies | Italy |
Google Ireland Limited receives your IP address only if you choose to load the map on the contact page. Until you allow it, no request goes to Google. See the cookie policy.
Data may also be disclosed to public authorities where the law requires it.
Transfers outside the European Economic Area
The site is hosted in the European Union. Two services can involve a transfer to the United States:
- Web3Forms, which forwards the form content to our mailbox. The transfer relies on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission in decision 2021 914.
- Google Maps, only if you allow the map to load. Google LLC is certified under the EU United States Data Privacy Framework.
You can ask us for a copy of the safeguards in place by writing to info@toroidalwinding.it.
How long we keep data
Retention periods are in the purposes table. When they expire, data is deleted or anonymised, unless the law requires longer retention or the data is needed to defend a legal claim.
Quotation requests that do not lead to an order are kept for 24 months, because a project that stalls often comes back a year later and it helps to find the technical data already discussed. If you would rather they were deleted sooner, just say so.
Your rights
You can exercise the rights in articles 15 to 22 of the Regulation at any time:
- Access: find out which data we hold and get a copy.
- Rectification: correct inaccurate data or complete it.
- Erasure: have data removed when it is no longer needed.
- Restriction: ask for processing to be suspended pending a check.
- Portability: receive your data in a machine readable format.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Withdrawal of consent: where processing rests on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting what was lawful before.
Write to info@toroidalwinding.it. We answer within one month, extendable by two months in the complex cases set out in article 12.3.
Complaint to a supervisory authority
If you believe the processing breaches the Regulation you may lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, Piazza Venezia 11, 00187 Rome, or with the authority of the country where you usually live.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS only. Form data travels encrypted and lands in a mailbox protected by multi factor authentication. Access to the data is limited to the controller and, for accounting, to the appointed accountant.
In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will inform you without undue delay under article 34 of the Regulation.
Minors
This site addresses professionals and businesses. We do not knowingly collect data from people under 16. If we find that we have, we delete it.
Automated decisions and artificial intelligence
We take no decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects concerning you under article 22 of the Regulation.
Where we use artificial intelligence tools for internal work, for example to draft a text or summarise a technical request, the rules in the AI and data addendum apply, including the ban on using customer data to train models.
Changes to this notice
If we change the way we handle data we update this page and the date at the top. Substantial changes are also flagged in the site banner.
