What data I process

  • Browsing data: IP address, date and time of the request, page visited, browser and operating system, recorded automatically in the server logs for the operation and security of the website.
  • Data you send me: name, email, company, service of interest, expected location and dates and the text of your message, when you fill in the contact form or email me. The form does not store messages on the website: they are forwarded to my mailbox.
  • Statistical data: with your consent, Google Analytics collects information on how the website is used (pages viewed, duration, source, device type) through cookies.

Why I process them and on what legal basis

  • To reply to your requests and prepare a quote: pre-contractual measures taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
  • To manage any assignment and meet tax and accounting obligations: performance of a contract and legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(c)).
  • To ensure the operation and security of the website, including protection against spam: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • To measure use of the website statistically: consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time from the cookie banner.

Providing the data in the form is optional, but without your name, email and a description of your request I cannot reply. I do not use the data for automated decision-making or profiling, and I do not pass them on to third parties for marketing purposes.

Who receives the data

  • Aruba S.p.A. (Italy), hosting and email provider, as data processor.
  • Google Ireland Limited, for Google Analytics (only with your consent) and for Google Fonts typefaces, which your browser downloads from Google servers, disclosing your IP address. Google may transfer data to the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

  • Contact requests and quotes: as long as needed to handle them and in any case no longer than 24 months if no assignment follows.
  • Data relating to an assignment: 10 years, as required by Italian tax law.
  • Server logs: for the technical period set by the hosting provider.
