Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Chicken SolidWay (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website https://solidway-play.site. We provide expert reviews and practical information about chicken coops and poultry-keeping for hobbyists in Italy. We act as the data controller for personal data processed via our website.

2. Personal data we collect

3. Lawful bases for processing (GDPR)

• Contract/steps at your request — responding to enquiries and providing requested information.
• Legitimate interests — site security, spam prevention, performance optimisation, and service improvement.
• Consent — optional updates or newsletters (only if you opt in; you can withdraw at any time).
• Legal obligation — compliance with applicable laws and requests from authorities.

4. How we use personal data

• To reply to questions and provide expert recommendations.
• To operate, secure, and improve our website and content.
• To send poultry-keeping tips or updates if you opted in.
• To protect our rights, prevent fraud/abuse, and meet legal duties.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential technical cookies and Cloudflare security/performance cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full details. Your consent choice is remembered for 30 days.

6. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with:

• Service providers (e.g., hosting, security/CDN) under contracts ensuring confidentiality and GDPR-aligned safeguards.
• Authorities when required by law or to protect our rights and users.
• Professional advisors (legal/accounting) under confidentiality duties, if strictly necessary.

7. International transfers

If personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA (e.g., via cloud/security providers), we rely on appropriate safeguards such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent lawful mechanisms.

8. Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, and to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typical contact enquiries are retained for up to 24 months unless a longer period is needed due to ongoing correspondence or legal obligations. Newsletter consent is stored while your subscription remains active.

9. Security

We apply technical and organisational measures to safeguard data (access controls, TLS, security monitoring). No internet transmission is 100% secure; we work to minimise risks and respond to incidents promptly.

10. Your rights (EU/Italy)

Under the GDPR you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time (this does not affect prior lawful processing).

To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority: Garante per la protezione dei dati personali — garanteprivacy.it.

11. Children’s privacy

Our site and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

12. Third-party links

Our website may link to external sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their privacy policies.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. We will post the revised version here and update the “Last Updated” date.
