Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit this site.

Data Controller

The Data Controller for the data collected through this site is Leonardo Castignani, reachable at info@leonardocastignani.it.

Personal Data Collected

When you fill out the contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as name, email, and message, solely to reply to you. We do not share this information with third parties.

Use of Cookies

This site uses cookies to improve your experience. The cookies used are listed below:

Types of Cookies Used

Cookies on this site fall into two categories:

• Technical Cookies (always active): Essential for the site to work correctly (e.g. storing your consent choice). They do not require prior consent, as they are necessary to provide the service.
• Analytics and Third-Party Cookies: Through Google Tag Manager, analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) may be activated to understand how visitors use the site, in aggregated and anonymized form. These cookies are activated ONLY if you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner, in line with Google Consent Mode: by default all tracking is set to "denied" until you give explicit consent.

• Technical Consent Cookie (cookieconsent_status): This cookie stores your choice regarding cookie consent ("all" or "required only"), so the banner is not shown again on every visit. It lasts 12 months.

No profiling cookie is installed without your explicit consent.

Legal Basis for Processing

Processing of technical cookies is based on the Controller's legitimate interest in the proper functioning of the site. Processing of analytics cookies is based on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Retention Period

Data collected through the contact form is kept for as long as needed to respond to your request. The technical cookie that stores your consent choice lasts 12 months, after which your consent will be requested again. Analytics cookies set by Google, if you consent, follow the retention periods set by Google itself (up to 24 months): see Google's Cookie Policy for up-to-date details.

How to Change Your Preferences

You can change your choice at any time by deleting this site's cookies from your browser settings: on your next visit, the consent banner will be shown again.

Your Rights

As a data subject, you have the right to access your personal data, request rectification or erasure, object to processing, request restriction or portability, and lodge a complaint with the competent Data Protection Authority.

Content Transparency and Artificial Intelligence

Some content on this site, particularly blog articles, is drafted with the support of generative artificial intelligence tools. Every piece of content is always reviewed, verified, and personally validated by Leonardo Castignani before publication, who remains its sole editorial responsible party.

This site currently does not use chatbots, virtual assistants, or other artificial intelligence systems that interact directly with visitors. Should such a feature be introduced in the future, it will be explicitly disclosed here, in compliance with Article 50 of EU Regulation 2024/1689 (AI Act).
