What data I collect and why

Contact form. When you write to me through the contact form, I receive your first name, last name, email address, project details and, if you add it, a start date. I use this data only to reply to you and, if we decide to work together, to prepare a proposal. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Newsletter "Behind the Brush". If you subscribe, I collect your first name, last name and email address to send you my newsletter. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

Emails. If you email me directly, I use your address and the content of your message only to reply to you.

Website statistics and cookies. The website uses cookies that are necessary for it to work and, only if you accept them, analytics cookies that help me understand how the site is visited. More details are in the Cookie Policy.

I do not sell your data and I do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

Who processes the data

The website, the contact form, the newsletter and the website statistics are provided by Squarespace, which processes the data on my behalf as a data processor. Squarespace may transfer data to the United States; these transfers are covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which Squarespace is certified. You can read Squarespace's privacy policy at squarespace.com/privacy.

Messages from the contact form are also delivered to my email inbox (Gmail, provided by Google).

How long I keep the data

  • Contact requests and emails: for as long as needed to reply and to manage any collaboration, and no longer than required by Italian tax and accounting rules if a collaboration follows.
  • Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
  • Analytics data: according to Squarespace's retention settings.

Your rights

You can ask me at any time to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive your data in a portable format (Articles 15 to 22 GDPR). If you gave consent, you can withdraw it at any time; this does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal.

To exercise your rights, write to fedevolpato@gmail.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).
