Privacy and cookies

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This notice explains how personal data are handled when you visit www.alessandrolacava.com or contact its owner, in accordance with Articles 12 and 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

Who is responsible

The data controller for this website and correspondence addressed to its owner is Alessandro Lacava. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, email alessandrolacava@gmail.com.

Browsing and hosting

This is a static website hosted on GitHub Pages. Your browser sends the technical information needed to request and receive pages, such as your IP address and HTTP request information, to the hosting infrastructure.

GitHub states that it records visitors’ IP addresses for security purposes, including when visitors are not signed in to GitHub. See the GitHub Pages documentation.

Providing a functioning, secure website is a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Technical request data are necessary to deliver the pages you ask to view. This website does not provide a registration or login service.

GitHub handles data for its own service and security purposes under its privacy statement. Its statement explains the recipients of data and its retention criteria. GitHub determines retention of its security logs; this website does not maintain a separate visitor analytics database.

GitHub may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Its privacy statement describes the safeguards it uses, including standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. You can consult that statement for details and information on obtaining a copy of the relevant safeguards.

If you contact me

If you send me an email, I receive your email address, any name you provide and the contents and attachments of your message. I use these data to read and answer your request and manage any resulting correspondence.

For enquiries about working together, the legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. For other correspondence, it is my legitimate interest in responding to people who contact me, under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where records must be kept to comply with a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.

Providing these data is voluntary, but I need a return address and enough information to respond. Email is handled through Gmail and the relevant email providers. See Google’s privacy policy, including its information on international processing and transfer safeguards. Messages are not published on this website or used to send newsletters or advertising.

Correspondence is kept for as long as needed to deal with your request and any resulting relationship. Longer retention may be necessary to meet applicable legal recordkeeping requirements or establish, exercise or defend legal claims; in that case, retention is limited to the applicable obligation or claim period.

Cookies and similar technologies

The current website does not set cookies or use local storage, session storage, advertising identifiers, tracking pixels or visitor analytics. Fonts, icons, stylesheets and images are served from this website’s domain. There are no embedded social media widgets or video players.

There are no optional tracking technologies for which this website needs to ask your consent, so no cookie consent banner is displayed.

The former /uscita.html utility has been removed. If you used it previously, its saved preferences may remain in your browser’s local storage until you clear this domain’s site data through your browser settings. This website no longer reads or updates those preferences.

Links to other websites

Links to social networks, videos, publications and other external resources are ordinary links. Following one takes you to another service, where its operator’s privacy and cookie policies apply.

Your rights

Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you may request access to your personal data, correction, erasure or restriction of processing. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation, and request data portability where processing is automated and based on consent or a contract. This website does not carry out automated decision-making or profiling.

Send requests concerning my processing to alessandrolacava@gmail.com. Requests concerning data GitHub controls can also be directed to GitHub using the contact details in its privacy statement. Requests are normally answered within one month, subject to the extensions and conditions in Article 12 GDPR.

You may lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) or the competent supervisory authority in the EU country where you habitually reside, work or where an alleged infringement occurred.

This notice will be updated when the website’s processing changes. The date at the top identifies the latest revision.
