2. Personal Data We Collect
Depending on how you interact with the website, we may process the following categories of personal data:
Information voluntarily provided through the contact form, including your first and last name, email address, telephone number if provided, the content of your message, and any other information you voluntarily include in your communication.
Technical and usage information may also be collected when you visit the website, including information about your browser, network and device, IP address, pages visited, referring pages, interactions with the website and timestamps.
Squarespace states that these types of technical and usage data may be processed to operate its website services and provide website analytics.
Please do not submit health information, medical records, photographs, clinical documentation or other sensitive personal information through the general contact form unless specifically requested through an appropriate communication channel.
3. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing
Personal data submitted through the contact form is processed for the purpose of receiving, reviewing and responding to your enquiry and communicating with you regarding your request.
Depending on the nature of the enquiry, processing is based on the steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract, where applicable, or on the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in responding to communications and enquiries received through the website.
Where processing relies on consent, including where required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Personal data collected through the contact form will not be used for unsolicited marketing communications unless separate and appropriate consent has been obtained.
4. Contact Form and Data Storage
When you submit information through the website contact form, the information you enter is processed in order to receive and respond to your request.
The website is built and hosted using Squarespace. Information submitted through website forms may therefore be processed by Squarespace in connection with the provision and operation of the website and form services. Squarespace's own guidance specifically identifies this processing for Form Blocks.
Form submissions are also sent to the email address designated by the Data Controller and may therefore be processed and stored through the relevant email service provider.
The contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA as an anti-spam and security measure.
5. Squarespace
This website is hosted and operated using services provided by Squarespace.
Squarespace may process technical information necessary to provide, secure and maintain the website and, depending on the website configuration and visitors' consent choices, information used for website analytics.
For users outside the United States, Squarespace identifies Squarespace Ireland Limited as the relevant Squarespace entity in its current Privacy Policy. Squarespace also maintains a Data Processing Addendum addressing processing subject to data-protection legislation.
You can read Squarespace's Privacy Policy for further information.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate correctly and securely.
Other cookies, including analytics or other non-essential technologies where applicable, are used only in accordance with your choices through the website's cookie consent system.
Squarespace confirms that its platform uses cookies required to operate websites and may also use cookies for Squarespace Analytics; it provides controls allowing site owners to display a cookie banner and manage non-essential analytics cookies for EU and UK visitors.
When you first visit the website, you can use the cookie banner to accept or manage non-essential cookies.
You can subsequently change or withdraw your choices using the Cookie Preferences link available on the website.
For more information about cookies used by Squarespace, please refer to the relevant Squarespace documentation.
7. Website Analytics
This website may use Squarespace Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website, including aggregate information about website traffic and activity.
Depending on configuration and consent choices, information processed for analytics may include browser, network and device information, IP address, referring pages and information about interactions with the website such as pages visited, clicks, scrolling, searches and timestamps.
Where consent is legally required for analytics cookies or similar technologies, such processing is activated only in accordance with the visitor's cookie choices.
8. Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data may be made available, where necessary, to service providers acting on behalf of the Data Controller, including providers of website hosting and infrastructure, email services, website security and anti-spam services.
Such providers process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their respective services and according to the applicable contractual and legal framework.
Personal data is not sold to third parties.
9. International Data Transfers
Some technology providers involved in operating the website may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, such transfers will take place in accordance with applicable data-protection legislation and using an appropriate transfer mechanism where required.
Squarespace's current documentation addresses international data transfers and applicable safeguards in its Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum.
10. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Messages and contact-form submissions may therefore be retained for the period necessary to manage and respond to the relevant enquiry and, where a professional or contractual relationship subsequently arises, for any longer period required by applicable law.
Data that is no longer required will be deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
11. Your Rights
Subject to the conditions provided by applicable data-protection law, you may request:
access to your personal data;
correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
deletion of your personal data;
restriction of processing;
data portability, where applicable;
objection to processing based on legitimate interests; and
withdrawal of consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Requests regarding your personal data can be sent to:
andreacarganicoconsulting@gmail.com
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority. In Italy, this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
12. External Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites and services, including professional profiles, academic databases and social-media platforms.
When you follow an external link, the processing of personal data by the destination website is governed by that third party's own privacy policy. The Data Controller is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.
