Data Controller

What Data Is Collected

Contact form

When you submit the contact form on this Site (powered by WPForms), the following data is collected:

Name
Email address
Message content
Any other information you voluntarily include in your message

This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Legal basis: your consent, given by submitting the form (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Retention: your message and contact details are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry, and in any case no longer than 24 months, after which they are deleted.

Automatically collected data

This Site does not use Google Analytics or any similar tracking/analytics tool. No behavioral profiling or audience tracking is performed.

Standard server log data (such as IP address, browser type, and access times) may be automatically recorded by the hosting provider for security and technical maintenance purposes. This data is not cross-referenced with any other information and is kept only for the time strictly necessary for these purposes.

Third-Party Services

Google Fonts

This Site loads typography (General Sans and Instrument Serif) from Google's servers. When a page loads, your browser sends a request to Google that includes your IP address, allowing Google to know that this Site was visited from your device.

Google acts as an independent data controller for this processing. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Figma embeds

Some pages on this Site include embedded Figma prototypes. When you view a page containing a Figma embed, your browser loads content directly from Figma's servers, which may set their own cookies or collect technical data according to Figma's own privacy practices.

Figma acts as an independent data controller for this processing. For more information, see Figma's Privacy Policy.

WPForms and reCAPTCHA

The contact form is powered by the WPForms plugin, hosted on this Site's own server. To prevent spam, the form uses Google reCAPTCHA, which analyzes technical data (such as mouse movements, browser and device information, and IP address) to distinguish human visitors from automated bots. This involves a data transfer to Google.

Google acts as an independent data controller for this processing. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Terms of Service.

Cookies

This Site does not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or profiling. Cookies present are limited to those strictly necessary for the Site's technical functioning and security, including cookies set by Google reCAPTCHA on the contact form page to prevent spam and abuse. These cookies fall under the "strictly necessary" exemption and do not require prior consent under current regulations (ePrivacy Directive, Art. 122 Italian Privacy Code).

Third-party embeds (Figma) may set their own cookies outside of this Site's control, as described above.

As a data subject, you have the right to:

Access your personal data
Request correction or deletion of your data
Restrict or object to processing
Data portability
Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal
