Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

The controller responsible for your personal data is Mont Valier Europe, Alte Strasse 39, 50859 Cologne, Germany. For any question relating to this policy or your personal data, you may contact us at ….

2. Information We Collect

We only collect personal data that you choose to share with us. This is limited to:

• Contact form submissions — your name, email address, type of inquiry, and the contents of your message.
• Email correspondence — when you write to us directly, we receive the content of your message and any information you include.
• Basic technical data — your IP address, browser, and pages visited are processed in standard server logs for security and to keep the site running. These logs are kept for a short period and are not used to build profiles.

We do not require you to create an account, we do not sell products through this site, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 16.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited personal data we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries, requests, and partnership proposals.
• To send replies to the email address you have provided.
• To maintain the security and integrity of the website.

The legal bases for these activities are your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), the performance of pre-contractual measures at your request (Art. 6(1)(b)), and our legitimate interest in operating and protecting the site (Art. 6(1)(f)).

4. Cookies

This site does not use cookies. Your language preference is reflected in the page address (URL), not stored on your device, and we use no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. If we add analytics in the future, your consent will be requested through a banner first, and they will be enabled only if you explicitly agree.

5. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share it with service providers who help us operate the site or respond to you — for example, our email hosting provider. These providers act as data processors under written agreements and may only use your data for the purpose we set. We may also disclose information when required by law.

6. International Transfers

Our infrastructure is hosted within the European Economic Area whenever possible. If personal data needs to be transferred outside the EEA (for example, to a service provider in another region), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Retention

We keep contact-form messages and related correspondence for up to 24 months after our last exchange with you, unless a longer retention is required by law or to defend a legal claim. Server logs are kept for no longer than is necessary for security.

8. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request erasure of your data (the "right to be forgotten").
• Restrict or object to certain processing of your data.
• Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw your consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (garanteprivacy.it).

To exercise any of these rights, write to us at …. We will respond within one month.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the latest revision was made.
