  1. Legal basis

Where required under GDPR, I rely on your consent (for opt-in forms and non-essential cookies) and my legitimate interest (for basic analytics) to process your data.

  1. Third parties involved

Your data may be processed by: Kit (email delivery), Substack (newsletter), Calendly (scheduling), Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity (analytics), Stripe (Challenge payments), and Skool (program access and payments). Some of these providers are based outside the EU/EEA; where that's the case, they rely on their own safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

  1. Cookies

The Site uses cookies from Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the Site. When you visit, a cookie consent banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies before they're set. You can change your preference at any time through that banner.

  1. How long data is kept

I keep your data for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law, and delete it when it's no longer needed.

  1. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

  1. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 16, and I don't knowingly collect data from them.

  1. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent version.
