  • Tax and accounting obligations: legal obligation (Art. 6.1.c).

Providers processing data on our behalf

We use providers appointed as data processors, who receive only the data needed for their service:

  • Lovable and Supabase: hosting of the website and database.
  • Wavely: sending service emails and WhatsApp messages and managing the newsletter; emails are delivered through Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES).

  • Stripe: card payments for events.

Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. In those cases the transfer relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

We also share with hotels, venues and travel partners only the data needed to organise the trip or event you booked. We never sell your data.

  • Requests without a booking: up to 24 months from the last contact.
  • Bookings, memberships and accounting records: 10 years, as required by law.
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
