Privacy
This is my personal site. I am the data controller — Elia Tolin, as a private individual. There is no company behind this page: if you have a question about how it works, write to me and I will answer you myself.
Visit statistics
I use Simple Analytics, a Dutch service that keeps its data in the European Union. It sets no cookies, does not track people across sites, does not record IP addresses and builds no profiles: it collects only aggregate numbers, such as how many times a page was opened. That is why you see no cookie banner — there is nothing to consent to. The script is served from this domain, so for statistics your browser never opens a connection to any third party.
Cookies
This site uses exactly one cookie, NEXT_LOCALE, which remembers whether you are reading in Italian or English. It is a functional cookie: without it the site would not know which language to show you. There are no advertising, profiling or third-party cookies. The one exception is the /call page: the booking calendar there is provided by Cal.com, which may set its own cookies (see below).
Server logs
Like any website, the server records the requests it receives, and those logs include the IP address of whoever connects. They exist to keep the site running and to spot when something breaks or someone is attacking it. I do not use them to identify anyone and I do not cross-reference them with anything else.
If you email me
If you send me an email, I see your address and what you wrote, and I use both only to reply. You are not added to any mailing list, your address goes to no one else, and I will not use it to contact you about anything else.
If you book a call
For bookings I use Cal.com, a service run by Cal.com, Inc., based in the United States. The calendar is embedded in the /call page: when you open that page your browser connects to Cal.com's servers, which therefore see your IP address and may set their own cookies. Cal.com's own privacy and cookie policies apply to that part. No other page of this site contacts Cal.com. If you book, Cal.com collects your name, your email and whatever you write in the form, and uses them to create the appointment and send you the invite; I receive them in my calendar and use them only for the call. You are not added to any mailing list and your data goes to no one else.
Links to other sites
This page links out a lot: to Aurora Digital, AuroraForma, GitHub, LinkedIn, the outlets that wrote about me, and my own products. Once you are on another site, its rules apply, not these.
Your rights
Under the GDPR (arts. 15-22) you have the right to know what data of yours I hold, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict how it is used and to object to the processing. In practice, here, the answer is almost always that I hold nothing about you at all — but write to me if you want to check and I will look. If you think I am getting something wrong, you can also contact the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
