Last updated on September 7, 2023

1. Introduction

This website (the “Website”) is a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) website operated by an individual, Luigi Casagrande (the “Operator”).

The Website is primarily intended for personal use but may be made publicly accessible. It is a static website built using Hugo and deployed via Cloudflare Pages.

Protecting user privacy is a core principle of this Website. As described below, no personal data is knowingly collected, stored, or processed by the Operator.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains:

What data (if any) is collected when you visit the Website
How that data is processed
Which third parties may be involved in the technical delivery of the Website
Your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR

This policy applies solely to this Website and does not apply to third-party websites linked or embedded within it.

3. Data Controller

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data controller is:

Luigi Casagrande
Email: privacy@luigicasagrande.it

(This email address is provided for privacy-related inquiries only.)

4. Personal Data Collection

4.1 No User-Provided Data

The Website:

Does not provide user accounts or authentication
Does not include contact forms, comment systems, or uploads
Does not request or accept personal information from visitors

Accordingly, the Operator does not knowingly collect any personal data directly from users.

4.2 Automatically Collected Technical Data

The Website is hosted on infrastructure provided by Cloudflare, which may automatically process limited technical data as part of delivering web content securely and efficiently.

This data may include:

IP addresses
Request metadata (e.g., date/time, requested resource)
Browser and device characteristics

This processing is strictly limited to purposes such as:

Content delivery
Network security and abuse prevention
Performance optimization

The Operator does not access, store, or correlate this data.

5. Analytics

The Website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, provided by Cloudflare.

Cloudflare Web Analytics is designed to be privacy-focused and does not use cookies or tracking identifiers to profile users across websites. The analytics data is aggregated and used solely to understand high-level traffic patterns (e.g., page views, referrers).

The Operator does not receive personally identifiable information from these analytics.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website itself does not set cookies.

However, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies or use similar technologies as part of its infrastructure services, including:

Load balancing
Security protection (e.g., bot detection, DDoS mitigation)

These cookies are considered essential for the operation and security of the Website and do not require user consent under applicable EU law.

No advertising, tracking, or profiling cookies are used.

7. Embedded Content and External Links

The Website may include:

Links to external websites
Embedded content (e.g., videos, code snippets, or documents hosted on third-party platforms)

Embedded or linked third-party services may collect data independently, according to their own privacy policies. The Operator has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the data practices of third-party websites.

Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any external services they access.

8. Data Retention

The Operator does not retain any personal data.

Any technical data processed by Cloudflare is retained in accordance with Cloudflare’s own data retention policies and legal obligations.

The Operator does not sell, rent, or share personal data.

Cloudflare may process data on servers located outside the European Union. Where applicable, such transfers are governed by appropriate safeguards under GDPR, including standard contractual clauses and equivalent mechanisms implemented by Cloudflare.

Where applicable, data processing occurs under the following legal bases:

Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): ensuring the secure and reliable delivery of the Website
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): compliance with applicable laws

No consent-based processing is performed by the Operator.

11. Your Rights

If you are located in the European Union, you have the right to:

Access your personal data
Request rectification or erasure
Restrict or object to processing
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Because the Operator does not collect or store personal data, most of these rights are unlikely to be applicable in practice. However, you may contact the Operator if you have questions or concerns.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the Website, applicable law, or infrastructure providers.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will indicate the most recent revision.
