Legal & Jurisdictional Notice

1. Data Controller

The data controller is Costantini & Partners, an independent advisory and technology holding registered in Italy under VAT identification IT 03923370542. Contact for data-protection enquiries: privacy@costantinilawfirm.capital.

2. Categories of Data Processed

The holding processes the following categories of personal data:

• Identification data — name, organisation, professional title
• Contact data — email address, professional telephone number
• Brief content — the information voluntarily submitted in the contact form, including the description of the prospective mandate
• Technical data — IP address, browser identifier, session telemetry strictly necessary for site security and integrity

The holding does not process special categories of personal data (Article 9 GDPR) through this site. Should the substance of an engagement require such processing, it will be regulated by a separate data-processing agreement.

3. Lawful Basis & Purposes

• Pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — evaluation of submitted briefs and any subsequent scoping conversations.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — site security, fraud prevention, and the integrity of the holding’s communications. The legitimate-interest assessment is available on request.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — only where you have affirmatively consented, e.g. to non-essential cookies. Consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — tax, accounting, and regulatory record-keeping obligations applicable to the holding under Italian and EU law.

4. Retention

Brief submissions that do not result in an engagement are retained for a maximum of twenty-four months from receipt and are then deleted or anonymised. Records relating to actual engagements are retained for the period required by applicable law and the relevant statute of limitations, typically ten years from the conclusion of the mandate. Site-security telemetry is retained for a maximum of twelve months.

5. Recipients & Cross-border Transfers

Personal data may be processed by the holding’s data processors (responsabili del trattamento) appointed under Article 28 GDPR — including the hosting provider, email infrastructure provider, and professional advisors bound by confidentiality. The holding does not sell personal data to third parties.

Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, the transfer is governed by an adequacy decision under Article 45 GDPR, by Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision (EU) 2021/914) under Article 46 GDPR, or by another lawful transfer instrument. A list of relevant transfers is available on written request.

WhatsApp Business communications. Where a data subject contacts the holding via WhatsApp Business at +39 379 365 3120, the messaging service is operated by WhatsApp Ireland Ltd (Meta Platforms Inc., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland), which acts as an independent data controller for the platform under its own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. The holding acts as a separate, independent data controller for the substance of communications received, which it processes under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures and contract performance) and retains under the same retention periods stated in section 4 above.

Cross-border transfers of personal data through the WhatsApp service occur outside the European Economic Area and are governed by WhatsApp’s own transfer mechanisms (Standard Contractual Clauses under Article 46 GDPR; adequacy decisions under Article 45 GDPR where applicable). The holding itself does not transfer the substance of WhatsApp communications to any additional recipient outside its appointed processors. Data subjects who prefer to avoid third-party messaging processors may contact the holding exclusively via email at managing.partner@costantinilawfirm.capital, which is hosted on controlled corporate infrastructure under the holding’s direct data-protection responsibility.

6. Rights of the Data Subject

You may exercise the rights provided by Articles 15–22 GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and objection. Requests should be addressed to privacy@costantinilawfirm.capital. The holding will respond within thirty days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (www.garanteprivacy.it) or with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence.

1. Information Purpose

The content of this site is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice. Nothing on this site is intended to create a contractual or fiduciary relationship between the holding and the visitor. Engagements are formed exclusively through written bilateral contracts executed between the holding and the client.

2. Brief Submission

Submission of a brief through the contact form does not bind the holding to accept the engagement. Briefs are evaluated within five business days. The holding reserves the right to decline any brief without obligation to state reasons. Acceptance of a brief opens a scoping conversation, the conclusions of which are recorded in a scoping memo. Acceptance of a mandate is conditional on the execution of a bilateral engagement contract.

3. Confidentiality

All communications, briefs, and engagement materials are treated under confidentiality. The holding observes strict separation between concurrent engagements and refuses any mandate that would create a conflict of interest with an existing client.

4. Intellectual Property

All trademarks, logos, copy, code, and proprietary frameworks made accessible on this site — including the names Costantini & Partners, Consistory, The Magisterium, Mirafiore Editore, Parsifal, Maestro, Parsifal WA, Perseus, Hans Sachs, and the Verdi·Nabucco·Omero operating layer — are the property of the holding. No licence or right of use is granted by access to the site.

5. Scope of Services

The holding operates as a Law Firm in the international sense, providing exclusively unreserved high-level strategic, regulatory, and technological consulting to corporates and family offices across multiple jurisdictions. The holding deliberately does not engage in domestic litigation or adversarial representation, preserving total operational independence and cross-border flexibility. All engagements are documented under bilateral corporate contracts.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the holding accepts no liability for direct or indirect loss arising from the use of information contained on this site outside the perimeter of an executed engagement contract. Within an engagement, liability is governed by the bilateral contract and any limitation clauses contained therein.

7. Modifications

These terms may be modified from time to time. The version in force is the one accessible on this site at the time of access. Material modifications will be notified to active engagement clients in advance.
