Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected and used through this website. This website is operated by:

Silvio Porcellana - silvio.porcellana@gmail.com
Location: Italy

 

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Silvio Porcellana is the data controller for personal data submitted through this website.

 

1. What data is collected

This website may collect personal data only when you voluntarily submit a partnership inquiry through the contact form.

The data may include:

  • your name;
  • your email address;
  • your company or website, if provided;
  • the content of your message;
  • any other information you choose to include in your inquiry.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message unless strictly necessary.

2. Why the data is collected

Your data is used only to:

  • read and understand your partnership inquiry;
  • reply to your message;
  • evaluate whether there may be a potential collaboration or business opportunity.

Your data is not used for newsletters, automated marketing, profiling, advertising, or resale.

3. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for processing your data is the legitimate interest of responding to partnership inquiries and managing professional communications.

Where a conversation may lead to a possible business relationship, the data may also be processed in order to take steps prior to entering into an agreement.

4. How the data is stored

Messages submitted through the form are not stored in a website database.

They are transmitted to Silvio Porcellana by email and used only to reply to the inquiry.

Depending on the technical services used to operate the website, limited technical data may be processed by hosting, email, security, or form-delivery providers.

5. How long the data is kept

Partnership inquiry messages are kept only for as long as necessary to respond to the inquiry and manage any follow-up conversation.

If no collaboration or business relationship follows, the message will normally be deleted within [insert period, for example: 6 or 12 months], unless a longer period is required for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

If a business relationship starts, relevant communications may be kept for the duration necessary to manage that relationship and comply with legal obligations.

The ICO notes that, when no fixed retention period is used, privacy information should explain the criteria used to decide how long personal data is kept.

6. Who the data is shared with

Your personal data is not sold, rented, or shared for marketing purposes.

It may be processed by service providers that help operate the website and communications, such as:

  • website hosting providers;
  • email service providers;
  • form delivery or spam protection services;
  • security or technical infrastructure providers.

These providers process data only as necessary to provide their services.

7. International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside your country or outside the European Economic Area.

When this happens, appropriate safeguards are used where required by applicable data protection laws.

8. Cookies and analytics

This website does not use tracking cookies for advertising or behavioral profiling.

If basic technical cookies are used, they are used only to make the website work properly.

If analytics tools are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain what is collected and why.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • access your personal data;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • request deletion of your data;
  • object to processing;
  • request restriction of processing;
  • request data portability, where applicable;
  • lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

The European Commission explains that individuals have rights over their personal data under the GDPR, and the ICO lists rights such as access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability.

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or email is completely secure.
