Privacy Policy
How I process the personal data collected through this site, under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
Data controller
The data controller is Carmine Di Donato (Naples, Italy). For any request regarding your data you can write to carminedidonato84@gmail.com.
What data I collect
Data you send voluntarily through the contact form: name, email address, any company or publication, subject and text of the message.
Technical browsing data automatically collected by the server (e.g. IP address, date and time of the request, browser type) in log files, for the functioning and security of the site.
Providing your data through the form is voluntary, but the fields marked with an asterisk (name, email, subject, message) are needed in order to reply to you: if you leave any of them blank, the form cannot be sent. The company or publication field can be left empty.
When you send the form, the site records a counter linked to a code (a hash) derived from your IP address, for the sole purpose of limiting repeated submissions and preventing abuse; the counter expires one hour after the last submission.
Purpose and legal basis
Responding to requests sent through the form: the legal basis is the consent you give by ticking the box before sending. You can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to carminedidonato84@gmail.com; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
Ensuring the security and correct functioning of the site, including preventing abuse of the contact form: the legal basis is the controller’s legitimate interest in protecting the site.
Retention
Messages received through the form are kept for the time needed to handle the request and in any case no longer than 24 months after it is closed, except where required by law. Technical logs are kept for the time strictly necessary for security.
Data recipients
Data may be processed, on behalf of the controller, by: the site’s hosting provider (FlameNetworks S.r.l.); the email service provider used to receive and reply to messages. These parties act as data processors. Data is not disclosed or sold to third parties for marketing purposes.
Transfers outside the European Union
Messages sent through the form are delivered to a mailbox managed by Google (Gmail): this may involve a transfer of data to the United States, carried out on the basis of the safeguards provided by the GDPR (standard contractual clauses and/or the EU-US adequacy framework).
Your rights
At any time you can exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection to processing, as well as data portability, by writing to carminedidonato84@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (www.garanteprivacy.it).
You can object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interest (technical logs and the anti-abuse counter).
This site does not use automated decision-making within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR, and no profiling is carried out.
