Privacy & Cookie Policy

1. Data controller

The data controller is La Casita Lecce, Via Idomeneo 31C, 73100 Lecce, Italy. You can contact us at any time at info@lacasitalecce.it for any question about your personal data.

2. What data we collect

This website collects only the minimum data needed to work properly:

• Technical data (browser type, language preference, pages visited) required to display the site correctly.
• Contact data you choose to share when you write to us by email or WhatsApp.
• Booking data is collected and processed directly by our booking partner Lodgify when you complete a reservation on their secure checkout. We never see or store your payment details.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use three categories:

• Necessary cookies — required for the website to function (for example, remembering your language and cookie preferences). They cannot be disabled.
• Functional cookies — enable third-party features such as the Lodgify booking widget. They are loaded only after your consent.
• Marketing cookies — help us understand how the site is used. They are loaded only after your consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page.

4. Third-party services

We rely on a small number of trusted providers:

• Lodgify — booking availability, reservation and payment processing.
• Google Maps — the embedded map on the Location page.
• WhatsApp (Meta) — the contact button that opens a chat with us.
• Google Fonts — typography loaded from Google's servers.

Each provider processes data according to its own privacy policy.

5. Your rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, write to info@lacasitalecce.it. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

6. Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed to answer your request or manage your stay, and in any case no longer than required by Italian law.
