A commitment to your privacy: presence, respect and transparency
I believe that a deep connection with Nature is born of respect and trust. Just as in the forest, I follow the principle of “leave no trace” — and I apply that same philosophy to your digital space.
1. Cultivating transparency and commitment
Your data are like seeds we tend to: I treat them with clarity, and only for the purposes you have chosen. Whether to send you news about the experiences or to reply to a message, you will always know how and why I am communicating with you digitally.
2. Respecting your digital “silence”
I believe in a life without noise. Trust me — the notifications on my phone are switched off so they don’t disturb me. I do not share, sell or pass on your data to third parties. Your email is a channel of communication between us, and I promise not to overload it.
3. A mindful digital footprint
This site uses cookies only to ensure that your experience is as smooth and serene as a walk along the riverbank. I want you to feel safe while you explore our experiences.
4. The Human above the algorithm
To me, you are not a statistic. You are someone seeking balance and self-knowledge. If at any moment you wish to know what information I hold, or you would rather I deleted it, a single message is enough. I am here to listen, with the same attention I give to the symphony of Nature.
In Nature, from the Heart… and with every respect for your privacy.

What data I collect and why?
I only collect what you give me through the forms — your name, email and whatever you choose to share about the experience you are looking for. Purpose: to reply to your request and arrange the booking. Legal basis: your consent and, once a booking is made, the performance of our contract.
How long I keep it
I keep your contact details for as long as needed to reply and follow up on the booking. If no booking is made, I delete them within one year. Data relating to completed bookings is kept for the legal periods applicable to invoicing.
Who else handles it
For the site to work, I rely on service providers who may process technical data: Automattic/WordPress.com (hosting and forms) and Google Analytics (browsing statistics, only with your consent). Some may process data outside the European Economic Area, under the applicable legal safeguards. I do not sell or pass on your data for commercial purposes.
