The Contact page allows visitors to send professional or general enquiries to Daniel Vision Lab.

Depending on the form configuration, information submitted may include:

• Email address
• Telephone number
• Subject
• Message

Information submitted through the form is used primarily to receive, review and respond to the request and, where relevant, to take pre-contractual steps requested by the sender.

Required and optional information

Fields identified as required in the contact form are necessary to submit and handle the request. Other fields are voluntary unless clearly indicated otherwise.

If required information is not provided, Daniel Vision Lab may be unable to receive, evaluate or respond to the request. Providing optional information is not a condition for submitting an enquiry.

By submitting this form, your personal data will be processed by Daniel Vision Lab for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and, where relevant, taking steps requested before entering into a professional relationship. Submission of the form does not provide consent for unrelated marketing communications. For more information about processing, retention and your rights, please read the Privacy Policy .

07 — Cookies and Consent Management

Daniel Vision Lab may use cookies, local-storage technologies and similar technical mechanisms.

Strictly necessary technologies may operate where required for security, website operation, privacy-preference management and functionality requested by the visitor.

Optional analytics, functional-media, marketing or other non-essential technologies are subject to the visitor’s privacy choices and, where required by applicable law, remain disabled until valid consent has been provided.

The privacy-preference system may provide categories including:

• Strictly necessary — required for website operation, security and consent storage
• Analytics — website usage and performance measurement where enabled
• Functional media — optional third-party media or interactive functionality
• Marketing — advertising, profiling or cross-site measurement where applicable

Non-essential categories are disabled by default where consent is legally required.

A technical first-party preference cookie may be used to remember the visitor’s privacy choices for approximately 180 days.

Visitors may change or withdraw their privacy choices through the privacy controls available on the website.

More detailed information is available in the Cookie Policy .

08 — Adult Access and Nude Art

Certain sections of Daniel Vision Lab, including the Nude Art portfolio, are intended exclusively for adults.

The adult-access interface may require visitors to confirm that they are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to access the relevant content in their jurisdiction.

The standard adult-access confirmation does not request an identity document, selfie or biometric information.

A strictly necessary first-party technical mechanism may be used to remember that the age-access confirmation has been completed.

This technical confirmation does not represent an independent identity-verification system.

Where stronger age-assurance measures are required by applicable law for particular content or jurisdictions, additional measures or access restrictions may be necessary.

09 — Photography, Interviews and Collaborations

Daniel Vision Lab publishes photography, editorial material, interviews and information concerning professional and creative collaborations.

Where individuals participate in photography, interviews, collaborations or other projects, personal data such as names, images, professional information, statements, biographies or authorised material may be processed and published where an appropriate legal basis and any necessary permissions, licences or releases have been obtained.

Documentation connected with such projects may be retained where reasonably necessary to document permissions, contractual arrangements, copyright, image rights and legal claims.

10 — Third-Party Service Providers

Personal data may be made available to third parties only where necessary for a legitimate purpose and in accordance with applicable law.

Categories of recipients may include:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers
• Website maintenance and technical-service providers
• Email and communication providers
• Security and anti-abuse providers
• Backup and data-storage providers
• Analytics providers, where lawfully enabled
• Embedded-media or external-platform providers
• Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers
• Public authorities or courts where disclosure is legally required

Where a provider processes personal data on behalf of Daniel Vision Lab as a processor, a data-processing agreement or other legally compliant arrangement under Article 28 GDPR will be used where required.

The current third-party services, tracking technologies and cookie providers that are relevant to website visitors are described, where applicable, in the Cookie Policy and in the website’s privacy-choice interface. Those disclosures should be kept aligned with the services actually active on the website.

11 — Social Media and External Platforms

The website may contain links to external platforms, including social-media services such as Instagram.

When a visitor chooses to access an external website or social-media platform, that third party may process personal data according to its own privacy policy, terms and technical configuration.

Visitors should review the privacy information provided by the relevant third party.

12 — Embedded Third-Party Content

Certain pages may include optional third-party media or interactive content.

Where such content may result in non-essential storage, tracking or transmission of personal data, it should remain blocked until the required privacy choice or consent has been provided.

After activation, the relevant third party may receive technical information such as IP address, browser information and interaction with the embedded service.

13 — International Data Transfers

Some service providers may operate or process information outside Italy or the European Economic Area.

Where the GDPR applies and personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, an appropriate legal transfer mechanism will be relied upon where required.

• European Commission adequacy decisions, including an applicable adequacy framework for eligible and certified recipients
• Standard Contractual Clauses adopted or approved by the European Commission
• Other legally recognised safeguards or derogations permitted by Chapter V GDPR

Additional technical or organisational measures may be adopted where appropriate.

Where required by applicable law, individuals may request information about the transfer mechanism or applicable safeguards by contacting Daniel Vision Lab at danielvisionlab@gmail.com .

14 — Data Retention

Personal data is not intended to be retained longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations and legitimate requirements.

Contact enquiries

General contact messages may normally be retained for up to 24 months after the last relevant communication, unless a longer period is necessary because the enquiry develops into a professional relationship, contract or legal matter.

Administrative records

Contracts, invoices and accounting records may be retained for the periods required by applicable tax, accounting and legal obligations.

Privacy preferences

The website’s consent preference may normally be stored for approximately 180 days, unless the visitor deletes it or circumstances require consent to be requested again.

Security logs

Technical and security records are retained according to the configuration of the relevant hosting, security and infrastructure systems and only for as long as reasonably necessary for website operation, troubleshooting, security, incident investigation and prevention of abuse. Records may be retained for a longer period where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to comply with a legal obligation.

Photography and collaboration documentation

Relevant documentation may be retained for the period necessary to document publication rights, permissions, contracts, intellectual-property rights and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

15 — Data Security

Daniel Vision Lab uses reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, alteration, unlawful disclosure and misuse.

Measures may include HTTPS encryption, access controls, software updates, security monitoring, backups and other appropriate website-security measures.

No internet transmission or electronic-storage system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.

• Right to erasure
• Right to restriction of processing
• Right to data portability where applicable

18 — Exercising Your Rights

Requests concerning personal data may be submitted to:

To protect personal data from unauthorised disclosure, Daniel Vision Lab may request information reasonably necessary to verify the identity of the person making a request.

Only information proportionate to the verification requirement will be requested.

Requests will be handled without undue delay and within the periods required by applicable law. Under the GDPR, the ordinary response period is one month, subject to the extensions and conditions permitted by Article 12 GDPR.

19 — International Privacy Rights

Visitors located outside the European Economic Area may have additional privacy rights under laws applicable to them and to the relevant processing activity.

Depending on the jurisdiction, these may include rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, targeted advertising, profiling or the sale or sharing of personal information.

Daniel Vision Lab will assess valid privacy requests according to the law actually applicable to the relevant processing.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy represents that a particular foreign privacy statute applies where its territorial, business-size, processing-volume or other legal requirements are not satisfied.

20 — Global Privacy Control

Where supported by the website’s consent-management technology, a recognised Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal may be used to keep marketing, sale-or-sharing or comparable optional technologies disabled where relevant.

The legal effect of such signals may depend on the applicable jurisdiction.

21 — Children and Minors

Daniel Vision Lab does not intentionally use the general website to solicit personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

If Daniel Vision Lab becomes aware that personal data relating to a minor has been collected unlawfully, appropriate steps will be taken where required.

The Nude Art portfolio is intended only for visitors who are at least 18 years old and who satisfy any higher age or access requirement imposed by applicable law.

22 — Automated Decision-Making

The website is not intended to make decisions concerning visitors that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing.

If such processing is introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated where required.

23 — External Websites

Danielvisionlab.com may contain links to websites and services controlled by third parties.

Daniel Vision Lab is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, terms or content of independently operated third-party websites.

Visitors should review the privacy information of the relevant third party before providing personal data.

24 — Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, services, technologies, processing activities or applicable legal requirements change.

When this Privacy Policy is materially revised, the “Last updated” date displayed at the top of this page will be changed accordingly.

Where required by applicable law, additional notice or renewed consent will be requested before materially different processing takes place.

The information in this Privacy Policy should be reviewed whenever website forms, hosting, analytics, embedded services, advertising, consent-management tools or other data-processing technologies are added, removed or materially changed.
