The personal data (name and email adress) sent by users from the "Contacts" page of this website (through the contact form or contact details therein) are used solely to reply to such messages.
Those data are stored in the email store on my computer (protected by the necessary security means like antivirus and firewall), in my secure online inbox and in the system backup copy stored on Google Drive, my (paid) storage service provider.
By checking the checkboxes in the contact form, you agree to the processing of personal data as described in this Privacy Policy and to the storage and use of data for future non-marketing communications. I will not use your data to send you promotional or marketing messages. You can choose not to check those checkboxes: in that case, I will remove name and email address from my systems as soon as I reply to your message.
Transmission of personal data
I will not, in any case, send personal data to third parties, except:
(a) to the extent that I am required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend my legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
(d) to any person who I reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in my reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.
Except as provided in this policy, I will not give your personal information to third parties.

Use of cookies
I use cookies in this website for the following reasons:
In order to use Google Analytics to receive information on the use of the website. I set Google Analytics so that IP addresses are anonymized. Google may send such information to third parties if they are required to do so by law or if such third parties process information on Google's behalf. For more information, refer to Google Analytics' Privacy Policy. If you don't want to be tracked, not even anonimously, by websites that use Google Analytics, you can download the add-on that disables the transmission of browsing data to Google Analytics. The add-on is distributed by Google for free;
In order to use Disqus, an online service that handles comments in articles; please refer to Disqus' Privacy Policy;
In order to use the share buttons on the article pages, wich allow users to share content on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Pinterest. Instagram is embedded in the home page. All these platforms save data on cloud servers that may reside outside the EU and that use their own cookies to identify you if you're logged in to their services. For more information, read the Privacy Policies of such platforms on their respective websites.
