• Browsing data: technical data automatically collected by the website (IP address, browser type, pages visited), used in aggregate form for statistical and security purposes.
• Contact data: name, phone number and any information voluntarily provided to request an appointment or information.
• Health data: any clinical information shared by the patient is processed exclusively for healthcare purposes, in compliance with art. 9 GDPR and medical confidentiality.

Online bookings may be made through the MioDottore platform, which acts as an independent data controller. Data entered on that platform are subject to its own privacy notice.

This website does not directly collect the data entered on MioDottore: processing takes place on the external platform according to its own terms.

Data may be disclosed to the healthcare facilities where the controller operates (Casa di Cura Villa Betania, Clinica San Feliciano, Clinica Ars Biomedica, Pantamedica, USI Acilia), to authorised collaborators, to IT service providers appointed as data processors and to authorities in the cases provided for by law.

For statistics and hosting services (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, hosting provider) data are processed by the respective providers as data processors, mainly located within the European Union. Any transfer outside the EU takes place under the safeguards set out in articles 44 et seq. GDPR (standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions or codes of conduct).

• Browsing data: kept in aggregate form for the time strictly necessary for statistical and security purposes (normally no longer than 12 months).
• Contact and booking data: retained for the time needed to handle the request and in any case no longer than 24 months from the last contact.
• Health data: retained in compliance with the legal retention periods for medical and administrative records under Italian law.

This website does not use automated decision-making processes or profiling under art. 22 GDPR. Any visit statistics are aggregate and anonymous.

You may exercise at any time the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection (articles 15–22 GDPR), as well as withdraw any consent previously given.

Requests may be sent to the controller by calling +39 351 6450958 (Monday–Friday, 4:00–6:00 pm). You may also lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (www.garanteprivacy.it).
