Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 23/08/2025

This policy explains what we collect only in connection with comments and basic site operations.

What We Collect

When you post a comment we collect:

  • The data you enter (e.g., name, email, optional website URL).
  • IP address and browser user-agent for spam and abuse prevention.
  • Optional cookies that remember your details for future comments.

We may collect standard server logs (e.g., pages viewed, timestamps) to operate and secure the site.

Why We Collect It (Legal Basis)

  • Legitimate interests: run the site, show comments, prevent spam/security abuse.
  • Consent: storing “remember me” cookies for your convenience (where required, via a consent banner).

Cookies (Comments Only)

  • If you opt in, we store cookies to remember your name/email/website for next time (typically up to 1 year).
  • We do not use cookies for on-site checkout or user accounts (we don’t offer these).

Third-Party Services

  • Spam/abuse protection tools (e.g., Akismet/reCAPTCHA) may process your IP, user-agent, and comment text to detect spam.
  • Optional analytics (if enabled) collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data.
  • Hosting/CDN/security providers may process data to keep the site online and secure.
  • We do not sell your personal information.

Data Retention

  • Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely to display discussion and detect repeat spam.
  • IP/user-agent data tied to spam checks may be kept as long as needed for security.
  • Cookies expire automatically per their set lifespan (typically up to 1 year).

Your Rights

  • You can request: removal of your comment, correction of your displayed name/URL, or deletion of personal data we hold about your comments.
  • Contact: contact@briondi.com. We may need to verify your identity before actioning requests.

Children’s Privacy

  • This site isn’t directed to children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect data from children.

International Transfers

  • If our service providers operate outside your country, your data may be processed there with appropriate safeguards.

Security

  • We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data; no method is 100% secure.

Changes

  • We may update this policy. Revisions appear here with a new effective date.
