Who handles the data
The data controller is Mauro Sandrini. For any request: mauro@maurosandrini.it.
Which data, and why
The website has forms on its Italian and English pages. The forms on the home pages and on the page about multi-agent systems collect your name and email to send you Mauro's news and proposals. The forms on the pages about safe AI also ask whether you write as an individual or as a school, public body or organisation, to reply to you; on the English pages all three forms lead to the same list of Mauro's news and proposals. In every form, as soon as you send it, your name, email, your choice and your optional message reach Mauro by email, even if you then do not confirm the sign-up: they are needed to reply to you. The message does not stay on the website and does not enter the mailing lists. Legal basis: for the periodic emails, your consent, which you give with the form's checkbox and confirm with the click in the email; for replying to your message, my legitimate interest in answering whoever writes to me (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); for the anti-abuse checks described below, the legitimate interest in protecting the website from automated submissions (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Name and email are needed to use the form; the message is optional. If you only want a reply, without signing up, write directly to mauro@maurosandrini.it.
Where they are kept
Sign-ups are kept on Brevo, the service I use to send emails (Sendinblue SAS, France, inside the European Union); Brevo also sends the notice with your message to Mauro's mailbox, hosted by Proton (Switzerland, a country the European Union recognises as adequate for data protection). The website is hosted by Hostinger and does not keep the form data: it keeps only one-way hashes (with a secret salt) of the IP address and of the email, not the addresses themselves, to limit automated submissions over an hour and over a day. The website's fonts are hosted on the website itself: no request goes to outside services while you read.
For how long
Your sign-up stays until you unsubscribe or ask for it to be deleted. Messages received stay in Mauro's mailbox for as long as needed to reply and to follow up on the exchange.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, restrict its use, object to its processing, receive it in a readable format, and withdraw your consent at any time (the withdrawal applies from then on): with the link at the bottom of every email or by writing to mauro@maurosandrini.it. You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
