Users can navigate the website without providing any personal information. The collection and processing of personal data occur only when necessary to deliver requested services, or when users voluntarily choose to share their data. This policy outlines how such data is collected, used, and safeguarded.


3. Types of Data Collected

a) Data Voluntarily Provided by the User

This includes personal data provided by users when:

  • Filling out a contact form

  • Sending a direct email or other forms of communication

The types of data may include name, surname, email address, and any other information the user chooses to provide. This data is used solely for the purpose for which it was provided.

b) Browsing Data

This website uses standard internet log information, such as IP addresses, and browser and device type. These data are collected for technical and security purposes and are not used to identify users personally.

The website uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistical data (e.g. time spent on the site, most visited pages). The data is processed in accordance with Google’s privacy policies and may include the user’s IP address. If configured, IP anonymisation is used.

  • To improve the website and services
  • To send communications, where consent has been given

The legal bases for processing include:

  • The user’s consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR)
  • The necessity to perform a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6.1.b GDPR)
  • The legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller (Art. 6.1.f GDPR), such as site security and improvement

5. Use of Cookies

This website uses technical cookies and third-party analytics cookies to optimise user experience and gather anonymous statistics.

A cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s device. The only personal information a cookie may contain is what the user voluntarily provides. This site does not use profiling cookies.

The site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Data collected (including IP address, if not anonymised) may be transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers, possibly located outside the EU.

Users may configure their browser to:

  • Accept or reject all cookies
  • Receive a notification before a cookie is stored
  • Delete cookies already present

Disabling cookies may limit the website’s functionality.


6. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

The site may contain links to external websites or embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Such content behaves as if the user visited the original external site. These websites may collect data, use cookies, or implement additional tracking.

francogrignani.info is not responsible for the data protection practices of third-party websites. Users are encouraged to consult the privacy policies of those sites directly.


7. Data Sharing and Communication

User data is not shared with third parties unless:

  • The user has given explicit consent
  • It is necessary to provide a requested service
  • It is required by law or authorised authorities
  • It is shared with service providers acting on behalf of the site (under contractual obligation and only for the specified purposes)

In all such cases, the information shared is limited to what is strictly necessary.


8. Data Retention

Personal data is stored only for as long as strictly necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with legal obligations. Data collected for communication purposes (e.g. email subscriptions) is retained until the user opts out.


9. User Rights

Under the GDPR, users have the right to:

  • Access their personal data
  • Request rectification of incorrect or incomplete data
  • Request erasure of their data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Restrict or object to data processing in certain cases
