What data I collect
Contact form. When you write to me I collect what you enter: first name, last name, email and project description. If you book a call I also collect the type (video call or phone call), the day and the time; your phone number only if you choose a phone call.
Browsing. To run and protect the site, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, browser and the page requested. The visit statistics I receive from Cloudflare are aggregated: they use no cookies or tracking scripts and do not let me identify you.
Videos. Project videos are hosted and delivered by Cloudflare, like the rest of the site.
Fonts, images, audio and libraries are hosted on the site itself: no other external service is loaded.
Why, and on what legal basis
I use form data only to reply to your request and arrange the call, if any. The legal basis is taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
Technical browsing data is used to deliver the site, videos included, and to protect it from spam and abuse. The legal basis is my legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Providing form data is optional, but without your name and email I cannot reply. I do not use your data for newsletters or advertising, I do no profiling, and I do not share it with anyone else.
How long
I keep requests and bookings for 12 months, then delete them. If a request turns into a commission, I keep the necessary data for as long as contractual and tax obligations require.
Who processes the data
- Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.): site hosting, storage and delivery of project videos, security and bot verification (Turnstile, on the Contact page only), booking storage, forwarding requests to me by email, aggregated statistics.
- Google (Gmail): the mailbox where I receive and keep messages.
Cloudflare may also process data in the United States. It takes part in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognises as providing an adequate level of protection.
Cookies and browser storage
The site uses no cookies: no profiling, advertising or analytics cookies. That is why there is no consent banner.
It only uses browser storage, for technical purposes:
- The site's session storage (sessionStorage): remembers whether you have already seen the intro animation and supports page transitions and the language switch. It holds no personal data. Transition data is deleted as soon as the next page opens, the rest when you close the tab.
- Cloudflare's bot check (Turnstile), on the Contact page only and only once you start filling in the form: it stores a technical value in your browser (
cf.turnstile.u) used to tell people apart from automated traffic.
These are necessary for the site to work and stay secure, and require no consent. You can clear or block them in your browser settings, but parts of the site may not work.
Your rights
You can ask me at any time to access, correct or delete your data, restrict its processing, object to it, or receive it in a portable format (Arts. 15–21 GDPR). Just write to pardini.guido.fi [at] gmail.com: I will reply within one month.
If you believe your data is not being handled correctly, you can lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, garanteprivacy.it) or with the authority of your country.
Changes
If this notice changes, I will update the date at the top.
