— 01 · Summary

To put it briefly.

We do not track you, we do not sell your data, and every piece of information we collect has a clear reason. That is all.

At Graffe Bagno we process your personal data only to fulfil your order, manage your account, meet our legal obligations and — only if you have consented — to share our news with you. The 10 sections below are the “long version”.

— Our core principle
“Ask for data only as much as is needed, keep it only as long as is needed, share it only as much as is needed.”
