Privacy Policy of  www.gdldesign.it

Last updated: 22/08/2026

1. Data Controller

The Data Controller is Gabriele De Luca, operator of the website www.gdldesign.it (personal industrial design portfolio).

For any request related to this Privacy Policy or to exercise the rights described below, please contact the Data Controller at:

gabriele@gdldesign.it

2. Types of Data Collected

The website collects only navigation data and data voluntarily provided by the user, specifically:

• Browsing data (system logs): during normal operation, the IT systems and software procedures responsible for the site's functioning acquire certain data—the transmission of which is inherent to the use of Internet communication protocols (e.g., IP address, browser type, operating system)—in the course of their normal operation. This data is processed by the hosting provider (Aruba S.p.A.) for security purposes and to ensure the site functions correctly.
• Anonymized statistical data: The site uses the WP Statistics plugin, configured with IP address hashing and IP anonymization features enabled. This means that visitors' IP addresses are not stored in a readable format or in a way that can be linked to the user. The data collected is used solely for statistical purposes (e.g., number of visits, most visited pages) and is processed directly on the site's server, without being sent to third-party services (such as Google Analytics).
• Voluntarily provided data: the website does not include contact forms. Should a user voluntarily write to the email address shown on the site, any data provided (e.g. name, email address, message content) is processed solely to respond to the request.

The website does not use third-party embedded media (videos, maps, social embeds): all content on the site is exclusively owned by the Data Controller and hosted directly on the website.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis of Processing

4. Cookies

The website uses a minimal number of technical cookies, necessary for some of its components to function:

Given the configuration with IP hashing and anonymization enabled, WP Statistics does not set identifying tracking cookies.

There are no profiling, marketing, or third-party cookies on the site. Since no non-technical cookies are installed, a consent banner is not required under applicable regulations; information on the technical cookies used is nonetheless provided in this section in compliance with the principle of transparency.

5. Data Retention

Anonymized statistical data collected via WP Statistics is retained for a maximum period of 12 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

Emails received are retained for as long as necessary to handle the request and subsequently archived according to standard correspondence management practices.

6. Data Transfer

Data is processed and hosted on servers located in Italy/European Union (Aruba S.p.A. hosting). No transfer of data to non-EU countries takes place.

7. Data Subject Rights

You may exercise, at any time by writing to gabriele@gdldesign.itthe rights set out in Articles 15-22 of the GDPR, including:

• the right to access your personal data;
• the right to rectify or erase your data;
