Privacy policy

This page explains what personal data is processed when you visit mik3sw.github.io, why it is processed and which rights you have. It follows the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”) and Italian data protection law.

Who is responsible

The data controller is Michele Angelo Marcucci, based in Milan, Italy. For anything about your data, write to michymarcucci@gmail.com.

What data is processed

Hosting and server logs

This is a static website hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc. When your browser loads a page, GitHub receives the technical data sent with every request, such as your IP address, browser and the time of the request, and may keep it in its logs to run and protect the service. Some project images are loaded from GitHub as well. I have no access to these logs.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in delivering a working and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). More in the GitHub privacy statement.

Visit statistics, only with your consent

If you accept analytics cookies, the site loads Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited. It records how the site is used: pages and sections viewed, the site you came from, device and browser type, approximate location at city level and a random identifier stored in a cookie. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off, and nothing is used for advertising. If you reject, the Google Analytics script is never loaded.

• Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time from “Cookie settings” in the footer.
• Retention: statistics are kept in Google Analytics for 2 months, then deleted automatically.
• Transfers outside the EU: Google may process this data in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognises as providing adequate protection.

More in the Google privacy policy and in how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

When you write to me

If you send me an email, I use your address and what you write only to reply, and keep the conversation for as long as it is useful to it. Legal basis: taking steps at your request before a possible agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or my legitimate interest in answering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Preferences stored in your browser

The site remembers your theme and your cookie choice in your browser's local storage. These stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. The cookie policy lists them.

What this site does not do

There are no accounts, forms, newsletters or ads. Your data is not sold or shared for marketing, and no decision about you is made automatically.

Who receives the data

• GitHub, Inc., which hosts the site.
• Google Ireland Limited, for visit statistics, only if you accept them.

Nobody else.

Your rights

Under Articles 15 to 22 GDPR you can ask to:

• access the data about you and get a copy of it;
• correct it, or have it deleted;
• restrict its processing, or receive it in a portable format;
• object to processing based on legitimate interest;
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what happened before.

Write to michymarcucci@gmail.com and I will reply within one month. Statistics in Google Analytics are tied to a random identifier and not to your name, so the quickest way to stop them is to reject or withdraw consent from “Cookie settings” in the footer.

You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, or with the authority of the EU country where you live.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. If the change affects what you agreed to, the cookie banner will ask you again.
