Terms & Conditions of Use and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
DA Vinci Publishing (“us”, “we”) makes data available and provides goods and services via its website both to registered account holders and other users of the Da Vinci website (“the user”). By using the website or by making a purchase on the website the user agrees to be bound by the following terms and conditions in their entirety. These terms and conditions may be amended by us from time to time: this will be indicated by the inclusion of the date of any such amendment at the head of this document. It is the user’s responsibility to check the terms and conditions as use of the site will indicate the user’s acceptance of the terms and conditions as published including any changes that may have been affected since the user’s previous visit to the site. Any dispute arising out of the use of this website or of the services provided via the website shall be adjudged in accordance with Japanese Law and the High Court of Justice in Japan shall be the sole court of jurisdiction.
1.1 Personal information provided or to be gathered by Da Vinci Publishing is controlled primarily by Da Vinci having its registered office at Osakashi, Miyakojimaku, Miyakojima-Minamidori 2-1-3-137. Personal information is processed in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies. We are able to receive and store securely any information you enter on our website or give us except in relation to your credit card details or PayPal account – see 1.4 below. You can choose not to provide certain information, which will mean that you might not be able to take advantage of certain site features.
1.2 The information we learn from our customers helps us to improve your shopping experience at https://davinci-edition.com/. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products, process payments, communicate with you about orders and products, update our records and generally maintain your account with us. We also use this information to improve our web shop, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website. We process information as necessary to respond to your requests and perform a contract, comply with legal obligations, and pursue legitimate interests such as maintaining and protecting the website. Where consent is required for an optional activity, that consent is separate from acceptance of these terms.
1.3 The data we receive and store whenever you interact with us is typically:
1. Your name
2. Your address
3. Your email address
4 Your telephone number
5 Your order history
This information is found or can be updated under your account at https://davinci-edition.com/contacts/my-account/
If you wish to receive details of your data, have it rectified or if you wish to have your data permanently deleted from our systems you can request it by writing or by sending an email to info@davinci-edition.com.
We apply technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. We retain it only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable accounting, legal and dispute-resolution requirements.
Technical information, such as IP address, browser information and security logs, may be processed to operate and protect the website. Cookies needed for login, the shopping cart and checkout support those functions. Pages may also contain YouTube videos and an Instagram feed; a Spotify player may be added. Embedded services can receive technical information, including IP address and browser information, and may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies. Ownership of the recordings does not prevent the external service from processing this information. Where used, YouTube’s privacy-enhanced player reduces some forms of tracking but does not eliminate all external requests.
Details are available in the privacy information published by Automattic / WordPress.com, Google / YouTube, Instagram / Meta and Spotify. Browser settings can restrict cookies; restricting essential cookies may affect account and shopping functions.
1.4 Payment transaction details (name, address, credit card number, credit card expiry date and CVC code) are transmitted from the Da Vinci website using an encrypted HTTPS connection – to third party online secure banking companies https://stripe.com/it or, where offered, https://www.paypal.com/
Da Vinci Publishing has limited access to this information via the online banking portal so that we can manage your orders and protect your account but we only see the last four digits of your card details relating to a name and address.
1.5 Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we will never sell it or share it with others unless it is necessary in order to deliver our services to you. We occasionally employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as courier services and postal services and for our monthly newsletter. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the GDPR guidelines.
1.6 Where provided by applicable law, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal information, object to certain processing, and withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. You may also complain to the competent data protection authority. Requests may be sent to info@davinci-edition.com.
1.7 Optional newsletters are separate from service messages about an enquiry, account or order. You can unsubscribe from marketing messages. A link to a commercial partner, such as Music Shop Europe or Exit Music, leads to a separate website: its operator controls the information you provide there.
1.8 Our hosting and external service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Applicable data protection requirements and safeguards depend on the provider, the service and the transfer concerned. You can contact us for information about the providers involved in a request. This privacy section was updated on 7 October 2026.
