This privacy policy describes how personal data of users visiting pasqualecosimozappia.com (hereinafter "Website") is processed, in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).
Data Collected
Voluntarily provided data: When you use the contact form, I collect the following data: first name, last name, email address, and message content. This data is used exclusively to respond to your inquiry.
Technical data: The Website uses browser localStorage to save your preferences (language and light/dark theme). This data remains stored exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to any server.
Navigation data: The Website uses Amazon CloudFront as a content delivery network (CDN). CloudFront automatically collects aggregated and anonymous data about requests (such as number of visits, bandwidth used, and HTTP status codes) for statistical and performance monitoring purposes. This data does not allow user identification.

Personal data is processed for the following purposes:
Responding to inquiries: Data entered in the contact form is used exclusively to respond to your communications.
Improving user experience: Preferences saved in localStorage allow your language and theme choices to be maintained between visits.
Aggregate analytics: Data collected by CloudFront is used to monitor Website performance and understand usage patterns in aggregate form.
Legal Basis
Consent: For sending messages through the contact form, the legal basis is the consent expressed by the user at the time of submission.
Legitimate interest: For aggregated navigation data, the legal basis is the legitimate interest of the controller to monitor the proper functioning of the Website.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Website does not use profiling cookies or third-party tracking services such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel.
The only information stored is user preferences (language and theme) saved through localStorage, a technology that keeps data exclusively on your device without sending it to external servers.
Data Retention
Contact form data: Retained for the time necessary to handle your request and subsequently deleted, unless required by law.
localStorage preferences: Remain on your device until you manually delete them or clear your browser data.
CloudFront data: Aggregated logs are retained according to Amazon Web Services policies.
